Hi @ferRX

I downloaded the drivers but it wrecked the file manager on my win 11 machine. The file explorer started and when the sidebar was used to open the C drive it crashed and then the process automatically restarted. Something in the win 10 compatible driver broke the explorer.exe. Please, can you help with this issue?

Hi @ferRX!

 

It's a good tip, however, have you tried this driver with win 11? Is it working for you? 

 

Thanks in advance!
