Android Studio - Android Device Monitor's File explorer not working

I have just learnt using preferences in Android. For debugging purpose I need to access the preferences files. I googled and found the default location of the preference file and also how to access it via Android Device Monitor.

Somehow I am not able to open any folders under the File explorer tab of the Android device monitor. They just aren't responding. I tried waiting for ADM to load and tried again but no success. (Double click on folder is not working, STRANGE!)

Do we need to configure before using it? I am using Android studio. Any help would be appreciated. Attaching image Android Device Monitor screenshot

Why is my device not showing in Android Studio?

If your device is not correctly detected in RAD Studio or in the system Device Manager, check the following: Ensure that your Android device is unlocked and not sleeping while connected via USB. Set the appropriate option in Settings or Developer Options. Make sure your Android device is enabled for USB debugging.

Finally I found how to make it work.

goto run -> location where your adb is

Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

type adb root , Enter (Your phone must have root)

If this doesn't work, install this app on your phone: [root] adbd Insecure or its free alternative here (update: link broken now).
