Windows 11 Browse For Folder Dialog Issue - Only Desktop

Thanks for the feedback. Please try:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 



 



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{A52BBA46-E9E1-435f-B3D9-28DAA648C0F6}] 



"ParentFolder"="{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}"

(“Browse For Folder” Dialog Shows Only Desktop in Windows 11)

Let's know how it goes.

I can confirm that this is not working,

Setting it to {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} doesn't help at all. Tried a restart just to make sure, doesn't help.

I came on this thread after reading your post where you suggest the same

And yes, this registry edit only makes things worse as well. Not possible to create new folders. What was the old entry?

I am having this problem too. If I disable saving Desktop in One Drive, I can see the folder I need to select. Once I selected the folders, I need for the particular problem, those folders will stay set. I then returned to One Drive and reselected it to start back saving the Desktop. Although the programs will retain their settings, I still cannot see the folders I need other than the Desktop. This was caused by the update to 22H2 at least build version 22621.819. Can Microsoft get on this right away?

While there is a lot of talk about this, has Microsoft targeted and identified this and plan to fix it? This problem is causing all such programs that depend upon the use off the folder window to browse for folders to be saved by backup systems such as O&O's Auto Back Up. I did note that files are available but not the folders, except the desktop. This did happen during the latest version update from Windows 11 21H2 to Windows 11 22H2.
