Thanks for the report,

• where are the folders located?
• If you open the folders that are tagged do they show?

[yIsItSo]

Standard folders, on the disk

They are marked as tagged: [cid:1d7f75e5-a989-44bd-ad09-de43d8a41545]

Open with no problems

Thanks

Do they show when you open them from the sidebar?

I have the same problem :(

This usually happens when the tagged files aren't indexed by Windows. Please try enabling "Enhanced search" in the Windows settings app and let us know if this helped.

I have set Windows Search like this...

Hi Josh. I think this problem is HUGE, because, now, when I try to pen the tagged folders, the items dissapear! I shows all files inside the taged folder for 1 second, and after that, keep dissapearing from view!

We are planning to move away from our approach that relies on the Windows Search Index. This change aims to address the issue and enhance overall reliability. Please refer to #15272 for further updates.
