Windows 11 Browse For Folder Dialog Issue - Only Desktop

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

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

    I too have had the same problem since I installed the latest update to Windows 11, although I didn't make the connection at the time. The solution of removing the Desktop from my Onedrive backup has resolved the problem for me.

    Glad that helped and thanks for the feedback, BillU87.

    I hope it works for JérômePirotte (the Original Poster), as well.

    That was the fix for me as well! As with retate's situation, my settings had never changed, so it must have been an issue with a Windows update. I actually have two instances of OneDrive. One is for my personal account on which I really don't put anything import. The other is a business version containing anything important. Removing My Desktop from OneDrive sync fixed the issue.

    Thanks for your analysis and assistance!

    Kind regards.
