Windows 10: windows 11 build 22621.2283 file explorer will not open on desktop.

Windows 11 pro latest build 22621.2283 installed. Click to open file Explorer and it does not open on desktop. It shows as active when I hover over the icon on the taskbar. tried lots of ideas found on the internet but still the same. OK before last update. I had the same problem last week with MS Edge and I was advised to install the beta and that worked OKIs there a beta of Explorer i could try?Sus strix mobo with Ryzen 9 5900x32gb CheersDavid

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Win 11 File Explorer tabs not opening

I am running Windows 11 Professional build 22621.ni_release 220506-1250 on two Intel 11th gen core i9 computers, one a Dell XPS-8940 desktop with 64 GB of RAM and one an MSI Stealth GS76 laptop with 32 GB of RAM. File Explorer tabs work perfectly on the MSI. On the Dell, when I open File Explorer directly, tabs do not work. If I open File Explorer through another application, such as Wondershare Uniconverter (to open the file location of a downloaded or converted file), File Explorer opens perfectly with tabs, and I can use it normally by opening additional tabs as needed. Once I close this instance of File Explorer, I no longer have tabs when I open it- only when I open it through another application. Not all applications will open File Explorer with tabs. Is there a way to fix this? I tried using the old fix available on GitHub, but that didn't help.
