    The fact that we're still talking about this issue 506 days after the OP started this thread is mindboggling.

    C'mon, Microsoft, you've released dozens of cumulative updates to Windows 11 since then. When is a fix planned for this bug?

    For a company your size and with over 60,000 software engineers and coders, one would think that someone would have a solution by now. 🫤

    I have 3 random machines doing exactly this and it is causing productivity issues now.

    Click a file in explorer window, the address bar will drop down for NO reason at all.

    You end up clicking in the address bar on one of the historical entries.

    You have lost where you were.

    VERY ANNOYING!

    This is driving me insane for months now!!!! It happens when using multiple tabs in on window.

    Restoring multiple tabs in one window at startup also doesn't work.

    What a mess...
