Right-click on file/folder -> Show in Explorer doesn't work on Win10 LTSC.
explorer.exe fails with error "This application only runs under WinPE or WinRE".
The reason is %WINDIR%\System32\explorer.exe is called instead of %WINDIR%\explorer.exe.
System32\explorer.exe always returns said error on LTSC. Devs tend to be unaware of this since I've encountered and reported this problem before for different software.
FFS is v11.11 but this is an old issue; I just took time to register and report it now. It's nothing critical but it would be nice to see it fixed. More people use LTSC than you probably think.

Sounds like the issue is more related to Windows LTSC, and less to FFS.
In any case, FFS let's you customize the path:

Yes, I guess it's incorrect to call it a FFS bug, but LTSC works the way it works and you can either choose to support it properly or not.
I hadn't noticed the custom path options so thanks for that, it fixes the problem.
