As part of our application, we are using Shell Namespace extension to create our folder view and interacting with windows explorer using interfaces like IShellFolder/IShellView/IEnumIDList/IContextMenu.

We are facing few issues after few windows updates versions as below :-

1. For our application, we enabled "Expand to open folder" option, and while clicking on a folder from our application, left navigation tree is not expanding.
a) when folder is clicked on right pane ( the corresponding folder on left pane does not expand)
b) when folder is clicked in left pane ( this works)

We are facing this issue since Windows 10 version 1703.
For earlier versions of the Windows 10( Build 1511, 1607), and Windows 7/Windows XP, The folder on left/navigation pane expands on double click of folder on right pane.

Issue 2 : From our application, while enabling the toolbar(Press ALT Key), We are able to see File/Edit/View Menus but Help is missing from the Toolbar.
We are facing this issue after Windows 10 version 1511. For Windows 10 Build 1511, It was showing Help Menu, But for the later versions, this menu option is missing from the toolbar. This is also working fine for early OS versions like Windows 7/XP.

So it seems, for explorer process, from build 1703(and 1607) onwards, there had been changes in windows explorer.
Can you please assist if some shell interface has been changed which we needed to take care for our application to address these issues for Windows 10.
