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.

What if i dont have onedrive, anyway to use command or look somewhere else?
This is new, I have never heard of this. I would select auto arrange icons to see if it will accept more. The desktop is just another folder.
I know this thread is old but I have this issue on Windows 10 PRO Build 22H2 19045.5693. I followed much of the advice on this thread but most produced no results.
After disabling the OD Desktop sync the issue seemed to have been solved. After restoring the desktop to it's former glory the issue persisted. It would appear the number items on the desktop also causes the issue. The maximum number of icons I can have is 99. Anything over this and I get the select folder dialog issue.
In my setup I have 168 icons. Using 2x 4K monitors easily allows for many more.
Anyone know how to get the system to accept more icons?
