Nautilus stopped working

[el_gallo_azul]

About 10 minutes ago, I was able to use Nautilus normally.

Aboiut 5 minutes ago, I needed to open a folder, but Nautilus would no longer start.

If I click the "Files" icon, it flashes normally for a while, but Nautilus doesn't start.

I need to use Nautilus, which means that I now have to get all my current applications to a state such that I can restart the computer without losing or forgetting anything.
