Windows 10: Task view issue

Task view has been one of my favorite win10 features - scroll down and find a file recently open and click to reopen. My problem is that for a few weeks now, after a windows update, when I try to do that, the file opens in a browser window from onedrive instead of the local file opening in Word or Excell.


Anyone else see this? Is there a solution?

:)

 

Task View

It's the Task View, not the Task Bar, that is the problem. I should be getting the popup (right clicking on Task View) showing the options for additional Desktops, not the five options for the Task Bar. A 'chat' with MS Solutions said that I should reinstall
Windows 10 to MAYBE correct this problem. Any suggestions to correct?? Thanks for your interest...I really appreciate it.
The Task View is the only feature that I may like on 10!!
