Windows 10: Is there a known fix or workaround for "restore previous folder windows" not working on win11?

Ever since i upgraded from win10 to win11, "restore previous folder windows at logon" has not worked. Windows explorer does not restore the windows i was using on my last session. I am currently using win11 23H2 22631.5189 and it is broken there.According to this thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/17dxam5/22h2_build_226212428_its_been_a_year_and_the/, the new tabs feature in win11's window explorer seems to break it and it can be fixed by disabling the tabs feature...but doing so is problematic.Does anyone know of a fix or workaround other than disabling the tabs feature

:)

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
