If i double click on a folder located at Desktop it opens fine. But if i open Desktop in Explorer and double click on a folder it opens in a new window (Single Click will just select the folder), that too two times

This is only for the desktop, all other folders and drives works fine.

In Windows File Explorer,

1. Select View

2. Options > Change Folder And Search Options

3. Is the option for "Open each folder in the same Window" enabled?

4. Also check the Click items option.

Then hit apply, and ok.

Yes, I have the same settings as well. Have you updated the PC recently?
