    File Explorer closes whenever the machine auto-locks the screen after a few minutes, or...


    Hi: Over the past week or two, each time my dual screens auto lock on a timer or the machine goes into sleep mode, File Explorer is closed when I unlock the machine.It's quite an annoying bug because I typically keep several tabs open in File Explorer for the work that I do, and I have to navigate back to where I was prior to the screen lock, reopen all the tabs etc.Is there a fix in progress from Microsoft for this issue?ThanksGeorge

    :)
