Blank "Browse for Folder" Dialog Box When Creating a Plan Set

Last Updated: 2024-02-13 07:40

Issue

When you create a Plan Set, and open the "Browse to" dialog box, it is blank and you cannot browse anywhere to locate the plans you want to add to your Project.

CCTO Browser for folder dialog box broken

Discussion

With Build 22H2 of Windows™ 11, Microsoft automatically backups up your Windows Desktop to OneDrive™, leaving only a "marker" of sorts on your Desktop. Most "browse to..." dialog boxes do not show shortcuts or links, only real files and folders. This causes the CCTO Browser for Folder dialog to appear blank.

Resolution

So far, the only resolution we've found is to disable "Desktop Backup" in Microsoft's OneDrive settings.

First, right-click on the OneDrive icon in your taskbar.

One Drive Settings

Next, click the gear in the upper-right corner and select "Settings".

In the Microsoft OneDrive Settings dialog box, click the Backup tab.

One Drive Settings - Backups tab

Next, click the Manage Backups button.

In the Manage folder backup dialog box, click Stop backup under Desktop. You can leave Documents and Pictures.

One Drive Settings - Manage Fodler Backups

This should immediately correct the issue.

You can re-enable Desktop Backup after you've loaded your Plans into CCTO.
