Windows 10: Restore last folders at logon not working on Windows 11

It used to work earlier, but no longer now. I have the latest update, did uncheck and recheck, tried regedit and even DISM.exe and sfc way but nothing works.Windows Explorer always opens in smaller size at the same position every I open it after start, not maximized although I always use it maximized.I also notice if I open a folder by choosing "Show location" in browser download panel or similar options in other programs, it opens in a new window instead a tab on the old one.

:)

 

Previous File Explorer windows are not restored even after turning on the "Restore previous folder windows at logon" feature on a Windows 10 computer

This happens every time you reboot a Windows 10 computer, both Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.

Please try it yourself.

• Open Folder Options and select the View tab.
• De-Select/Un-Check "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
• Select/Check "Restore previous folder windows at logon"
• Leave the File Explorer window open and reboot the computer
• The previous open folder window will not be restored after logon
• Open a File Explore window and open the C:\ root folder or the C:\Windows folder
• The protected operating system files will once again be hidden
• Open Folder Options and select the View tab
• Locate the same values changed previously and look at their current setting.
• They will have returned back to their default values
  • "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" will be Selected/Checked
  • "Restore previous folder windows at logon" will be De-selected/Un-Checked

It seems to be a bug in Windows 10 that I would like to report.

 

Restore previous folder windows at logon not working

With my previous laptop this setting worked fine. After logon, all open windows explorers that were open at shutdown, were restored.

With my new laptop, no explorers are restored, even though the setting is active (set in folder options > view > advanced settings)

Also checked in the registry (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\PersistBrowsers = 1)

Could there be a setting which overrules the restore setting?

This is pretty annoying.

 

Windows XP PRO error after restore

System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.
