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?

Did you install the KB5094126 Windows update? It seems to have broken various things.

Yes, on 9 June. Just checked.

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

Should I and can I uninstall it safely? Won't it break some other settings that may depend on it having been installed?

I would wait for a fix.

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...

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.

I could reproduce and fix this now. It might not be related to the Windows update. Check out upcoming beta 801.
