Don't have windows at hand but is the behaviour reproducible when you try to open a file by hand? In any adobe apps with Folder.selectDialog() (i.e. Illustrator…). In any non Adobe Apps (manually) ?

If you can narrow it down to the single Folder selectDialog (or selectDlg()), then that would be a bug due to the update, and you woudl need to report.
Sorry I can't be more useful here.

Updated to 22H2 22621.674. Folder.selectDialog() and Folder.selectDlg() seem to be working fine. I put in Folder("C:/Program Files").selectDlg(); and it opened the prompt at that folder location. Folder.selectDialog(); shows all locations. What's the code where it's failing?
