The reason that the user experienced this issue is that “Templates” folder was changed into “Templates_1” and there is another shortcut with the name “Templates”. 

Here is how you fix it.

  1. Rename the shortcut “Templates” into “Temp” or something else. 

  2. Rename the folder “Templates_1” back into “Templates”.
