Steps to Reproduce
Launch io.elementary.files from terminal.

Hardware Info
No response
Did you try booting the older kernel afterwards? Just to be sure it has anything to do with the kernel version. I'm running the same kernel and the same session type, but I cannot reproduce this.
Might be worth turning off History in the Security & Privacy plug in case one of the locations you are restoring is problematic. This will stop Files restoring any previous locations and just load your home folder. I cannot reproduce this either. Note a new version (7.1.6) has just been merged and should appear in the updates soon. This fixes a bug where Files can hang on trying to show the context menu in some circumstances.
