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.

2023-02-24T16:28:36+00:00 This is similar to our issue. We are experiencing the problem in an Autodesk add-in that is vital to transmit drawings. We also have a policy for OneDrive to be installed. Turning off the OD sync has worked in testing but can't do that for production machines.

2023-02-24T02:37:32+00:00 Still an issue as of 2/23/2023. I can't disable OneDrive sync of my desktop because, although this is a personal device, it is managed by my company and they prevent me from unselecting any OD folders from sync.

I'm having the same issue unfortunately. Until recently I thought it was an issue with a specific app which triggers "Browse fro folder", it was only today that I saw it elsewhere, and realised it's a PC/windows issue.
Mine's also a personal PC
