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.

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.
Glad that helped and thanks for the feedback, BillU87.
I hope it works for JérômePirotte (the Original Poster), as well.
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.
