I have a problem, I cannot open Files as administrator by right-clicking the dock-icon and selecting 'New Window as administrator'.

Is that a bug or is it just affecting me? It works OK with Nautilus.

This is a known regression caused be a recent update. A fix has been committed and should be released soon. In the meanwhile using sudo pantheon-files in a terminal will work.
