We will run the API on separate STA thread and pump messages while waiting for the dialog to end.

I just installed the pre-release, patched Windows and rebooted. The shell still hangs like before.

What Windows version do you have?
And what exactly hangs for you?

@dragon57 What Windows version do you have? And what exactly hangs for you?

Windows 11, 25H2, build 26200.8457

When I try to drag something in the start menu to one of my app folders that would normally popup the file requestor saying it needs admin rights to move, Open Shell hangs before that point.

Sorry, I was logged in as a different user than dragon57 when I replied.

This PR is about file open/save dialogs.
Not about dragging anything. That's completely different issue.

You should create an issue for that (if you haven't already).

Sorry, I should have read the details better. I saw the pre-release and the word hang! :)

I created a new issue.

This still doesn't fix the "Open File Location" issue - shouldn't this be related and therefore fixed? (I still have to click the taskbar empty space for the Windows Explorer window to open).

Nope. That's different thing.

Nope. That's different thing.

That’s extremely unfortunate. It’s the biggest pet peve right now.
