@stefansjfw , @SamChaps ,@SeraphimaZykova I can confirm this issues for all Explorer windows that opened after the first one. (I am running PT v0.70.1.)

I admit I never tested with that option turned on (didn't know it even existed tbh). I think that the shell API we are using somehow doesn't work for the other Explorer window running outside the first process.
