Description

I've used the Experimental feature to set Files as my default explorer, and when I click on the Files icon in the taskbar it opens to my specified folder right away (Documents in OneDrive in my case).

However, if I use the Win-E shortcut or anything that would normally open File Explorer, Files will open but it goes to the default home view instead.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Type Win-E
  2. Files opens, but opens in Home View rather than folder that user has set in preferences

Requirements

  • Always use correct start preference

Files Version

2.0.33.0

Windows Version

Win 11 22000.282
