I’ve heard there were issues with v1.3.0, so you might want to go up to 1.3.1

If it is the issue, can you rename the title to ‘Feature: Remove WinUIEx reference’? I saw the code of WinUIEx, we can implement natively.

Thank you for your feedback, removing dependencies is a goal for many projects including Files. In this case we’re still using WinUIEx to make it easier to implement certain features but we’ll definitely remove it once it’s no longer required.
