File > Open Project Always opens the same folder, not the last used

[scottnorrisphotography]

I have an annoying issue that is specific to AE 22.2.1. (Im on Win 10) When go to open a project (File > Open Project), AE always defaults to one particular folder. No matter where I navigate to open the project I need, the next time I open AE and a project, AE starts in that one particular folder.  While it is not mission critical to fix, it is very annoying.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do?

I don't see anything in preferences that addresses this.  My next step may be to uninstall/reinstall, but I'd like to find a solution before I do that.

Thanks, 

Scott

Such behavior typically indicates a permissions issue with the folders and ultimately also the prefs file itself, so check that stuff using File --> Properties after a right-click on the relevant locations.
