Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
For unknown reason, clicking on a .lnk file opens the destination in Windows Explorer and not in XYplorer as before. This is quite undesirable. How can I return the previous (standard) XY's performance?

Re: Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
Did you install the KB5094126 Windows update? It seems to have broken various things.

I don't have KB5094126 and the links work well.

Re: Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
Should I and can I uninstall it safely? Won't it break some other settings that may depend on it having been installed?

Re: Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
But is Microsoft aware at all that this KB update is causing problems with XY? After all, XY is not a part of Windows OS...

Re: Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
Well, I hope it causes problems elsewhere, too. 
OTOH, MS usually don't fix bugs. My best hope is that someday I can install that update myself (I wasted half of the day trying to do it with every trick known to the web and failed), then I could easily fix it.

Re: Opening links (shortcuts) in XY
I could reproduce and fix this now. It might not be related to the Windows update. Check out upcoming beta 801.
