By the way, the "RememberLastLaunchLocation" setting should be exposed to the user, so don't need to change the setting manually (every time after the PowerToys upgrade).

I can repro this. Looks like the %homepath% query is not well received by the folder plugin.

I'll take a look on this one.

Hi @sosssego In my machine HOMEPATH is set to \Users\david. I suppose we are not properly expanding environment variables that starts with /, \ or ~. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/3d8fbd0507781e18ce0b894599a2df3cbb670d7f/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/Path/FolderHelper.cs#L80
