    file cabinet icon in all c:\ ... \documents after win 11 23H2 update - fix needed


    TD;DR: I cannot open any of my documents after the latest update and then quality update on 12/02/2024 bc of file cabinets on all my icons in documents. Can anyone provide a fix?I am also NOT using onedrive, it is NOT installed, i am NOT linked to onedrive... HOWEVER, it appears these are linked now to c:\...\onedrive\documents instead of c:\...\documents - the latter i had set up for just my stuff on my computer. I backup on my external hd's - which is how i found I've tried refreshing file explorer, rebooting after a nanosecond of looking around bc heck, i'm not doing a swot analysis here.Fo

    :)

    Windows 11 23H2 upgrade broke File Explorer, it will not run

    Good news!

    Problem seems to be fixed by 2023-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032190) update released 11/14 that I installed on 11/15. In the Knowledge Base notes is the following under File Explorer:

    • This update addresses an issue that stops File Explorer from opening.

    It worked for me, no longer have any problems, no need to re-install (somehow I couldn't roll back 23H2 update and had no recovery point before that time).
