Bug: Issue with Network Folder and Recycle Bin Folder not responding when opened
Description
When attempting to open the "Network" folder in the network drive, nothing happens and the application indicates that it is not responding, before closing without any error reporting. Furthermore, the application does not reopen once it is closed. However, during my in-depth investigation into this long-standing issue, I noticed that when the "Network" folder was not pinned, the application would crash upon opening. On the other hand, when the folder was placed in favorites and opened from either the favorites or the "Network Drive" category, it would open without any issues. However, if I removed it, the problem would recur. And finally, the same issue occurs with the Recycle Bin when it's not pinned. When I launch it from a shortcut, the application starts but doesn't respond. However, when the Trash is pinned and I launch it from a Files shortcut, the application doesn't crash.
Steps To Reproduce
Open "Files" Find the "Network Drives" category Expand it Click on the "Network" file
Requirements
Make sure the "Network" folder doesn't crash when asked to open.

Thanks for the report. The log file doesn't show any errors but your issue may be fixed when #12679 is.
@Josh65-2201 I just noticed that all the folders listed with names starting with "Shell:" never respond when launched, except if we add them to favorites.
