Windows 11 Browse For Folder Dialog Issue - Only Desktop

Anonymous

In several programs, when I need to set a folder location for example, and open the Browse Dialog, I'm only shown the Desktop folder. I can't access any folder outside of "Desktop". It doesn't make a difference to run the programs as admin.

Specs:

Edition Windows 11 Pro

Version 22H2

Installed on ‎21/‎09/‎2022

OS build 22623.730

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0

I also am experiencing this problem, and it's impacting my ability to work since I use both my desktop sync through OneDrive and apps that depend on the folder browser.

The workaround works but it's not a convenient way of working. Please fix it!

(For my own curiosity, how does a change to OneDrive cause this fundamental Windows system function to break in the first place?)

Yeah ... this is a temporary workaround only, not a solution. Hopefully Microsoft will solve this in next fix build

Correct and I would only use this method as modifying your registry does wicked things.

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't have the option of modifying the registry as this is a production system. Hopefully Microsoft will release a fix for it.
