Default File Manager

I have the configuration set to have xyplorer as the default file manager, but the native windows file manager is nevertheless used as the default.

By the way, I am using fully undated Windows 10.

the native windows file manager is nevertheless used as the default.

What does that mean? Starting "File Explorer"? Hitting Win+E?

If so, that's normal. But double-clicking a folder on your desktop (for instance) should open it in XYplorer.
