Right click on desktop shortcut to Open file location does not work except for Excel, Word shortcut. Anyone else experience this?
If I right click on desktop ANY shortcut icon in Windows 10 on other laptop next to me and select Open File Location-it will open any location for ANY shortcut or program.
I have the same programs on Windows 11 laptop and Bat and other files. When I Right click on desktop in Windows 11 23H2 (have not updated in a month or so due to prob I read with updates) and select "Open File Location" , it yields no results. Nothing opens UNLESS it is the 2 shortcuts Word and Excel shortcuts.
Right click and select Troubleshooter compatibility also does not work but never tried it from desktop so I do not care.
I have normal things on desktop like Zoom, Teamviewer, Macrium, FileZilla Pro, Chrome, Firefox, various shortcuts to folders...
Works within the Start menu or if I select just Open in the start menu. But on desktop, nope except MSFT Word and Excel. Same for Open Folder Location. Not a big deal but just wondering.
Thank you very much!
