Show in Explorer not working anymore

Posts: 6 · draknapid 15 Nov 2022, 03:28

After clicking on Compare, I could right click on a file and then 'Show in Explorer' which would take me to the file location in my drive. This was extremely useful for me.
However, that option is no longer working. Clicking on 'Show in Explorer' does nothing right now.
Not sure if it something to do with the app update or Windows 22H2 update. But it stopped working since around then.

What version of FFS?
Is 22H2 10 or 11?

(I'll just note, still working here, Win7 & FFS 11.27.)

I am running Windows 11 22H2 and FFS 11.27. The option is working fine for me. I would guess Window's issues. Open CMD window as administrator and run these:
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow

Restart your computer after those, report back

I see the issue is something entirely different. I am unable to even open command prompt. I may need to format my laptop. I will do it and revert. Thanks!
