I hope someone has an answer to my problem. When I turn on my windows 11 laptop, and sign in, the file explorer immediately opens up and I have to close it to get to my desk top. Although it’s not a big problem, it is annoying. Any ideas?

I don't see file explorer, but Windows Explorer is there, should I disable that?

Click to expand...

Only if it's an entry under the Startup tab, not anywhere else.

Also check for an entry in the Startup folders in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
and
C:\Users\[userame]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
