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

    Sorry if my post might have sounded impolite. I think it should not take a registry hack to make these things work again.

    Being a software developer, I have started a new thread here.
