OneDrive shared folders always open in webbrowser instead of windows explorer

Since this morning, folders that are shared with me in OneDrive are always opened in the web browser.

Previously, these same shared folders always opened in Windows Explorer.

The fact that the files are only available in the web browser leads to a strong reduction in functionality and is problematic. I saved diles to the folder and different programs on my local pc call these files.

I followed the steps in the procedure:

Add and sync shared folders to OneDrive for home
I have performed the steps:
Unlink and re-link OneDrive

Reinstalling OneDrive

Reset OneDrive

None of which helped or solved the issue.

This issue appears to have started after installation of the new OneDrive version Build 25.015.0126.0002 (64-bit)
A quick fix for this feature bug is appreciated!

    Cela fait plus de 8 mois qu'il n'y a pas de solution. Selon la personne qui partage, le dossier partagé est transformé en lien. Seule solutuon : se plaidre directement chez Microsoft (aide dans Onedrive)

    Quand la terre entière se plaindra, MS arrêtera de jouer avec copilot et se mettra à résoudre ses bugs....
