Looking through a test install, I'm unable to replicate this issue. It's not the most ideal method to call explorer.exe with a URL in the code, but in all tests it's opened the default browser - Edge, Firefox, Chrome.

What's the current default browser on your system?

@anthonylavado My current browser is Microsoft Edge, (Chromium) Version 109.0.1518.70 (Official build) (64-bit). I upgraded Jellyfin to version 10.8.9 (Windows X64) hoping the upgrade would solve the issue but the issue is still there. It is not an issue on my backup Windows Jellyfin server, which has the same version of Windows (right down to the version build number) as well as the same Edge build.

I set Google Chrome as default browser, restarted and it still occurs and I went back to Edge as my default browser.

Is there something in the Windows registry that could make this happen? I looked at Windows default app settings for Windows Explorer as well as Edge, including by protocol, to see if something was amiss and it appears there isn't.

After months, this issue went away. I only made two changes to my Windows 10 computer. I noticed my 'Documents Folder' in Windows had been moved from a custom location back to the Default profile location and I changed it back to my custom location and my Windows computer installed Cumulative Update for Windows 10 KB5022834 and .Net Framework update KB5022729. Maybe it reset some setting that was causing the tray app to open Documents folder. I don't know enough about the tray app to know it if writes anything to the registry or not and whether these two changes corrected it or not. It's fixed now. Marking closed.
