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!

    I still have this issue right now. Is this feature going to be moved to a more "premium" tier that I have to pay extra for?

    Please Microsoft, we need an update on the expected timeline to a fix. A week, a month, a year, never?

    Labelling something a Hot Issue is not enough, we need some visibility on the expected timeline to a fix. The loss of functionality has been profound.

    This is so weird. same build but mine is still not working.
    I guess nothing much that we can do now except wait for their next update. x.x

    But on a hopeful side, yours is working so means they are fixing it, at their own time.
