I deleted the DATA folder, and the help function started working again.
How can I find the item in the DATA folder that's causing the help function to malfunction?
All I had to do was delete the XYplorer.ini file, and the help function started working. What in the XYplorer.ini file could be preventing the help function from working?

One possibility is that you reassigned the F1 key to something else.

No! I took the XYplorer.ini file from the 32-bit version of the application and placed it in the 64-bit version. The help works in the 32-bit version.
