  1. Open File Location does not work well anymore


    Only a few weeks ago, I could open my File Explorer, go to Recent, go to a OneDrive document, right click, click "Open File Location", and I would be taken to that containing folder within the File Explorer.Now, when I click "Open File Location", it launches OneDrive in my internet browser.This by itself would be inconvenient, but now I cannot drag a OneDrive document from the File Explorer into an email as an attachment through the Recent list; however, I can do it from File Explorer if I go through the folders to where the document is and drag it from there.

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Open File Location does not work well anymore :)

    Open File Location does not work well anymore

    Can't open folder location via windows search and "open file location"

    Oh yeah, searching in the file explorer itself seems to not have an issue. Opening file location via that works fine (and it's shown as "open folder location" if it's a folder).

    Did a bit of searching and from this thread here: Open file location | Windows 10 Forums
    Seems like it's based on a CID of {37ea3a21-7493-4208-a011-7f9ea79ce9f5}. Not like that would help too much.
