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

    A bug fix for this is on the way, it's being tested on the Insiders program.

    I've been having this same issue. Seems to be a known issue across Windows 11. I found an article (lost the original link) that suggested the Desktop folder sync with OneDrive is the cause. Disabling OneDrive desktop sync worked for me.
