Guys the solution is quite simple. You simply have the "Quick access" feature on in Explorer that keeps previously opened files in cue.
So simply turning this feature off in explorer will fix it.

So inside any folder click on the three dots at the top of the folder next to the view tab, then click options, the on the General tab where it says "open File explorer to: change it to This pc. Then at the bottom where it says Privacy: uncheck "show recently used files" and
uncheck "show frequently used folder.". then click apply then ok than restart explorer. Viola!!!

If you made this video with an English narrative you would get so many hit! Why are you tech-smart but not business smart? You are failing yourself here. Take the extra step to be better and beat everyone in your arena and the area you compete in. I like the production, but I don't like the content understanding. Make it simple, make it easy as one, two, and three, and you will win! You are losing so much money! Do all your content as I explained and everyone in the world will land here. I don't care if you don't listen and take my advice because it will be your loss, not mine. I, and everyone else will find another person giving the same, but better content. Good luck! I hope you understand and get to grow and be better with this comment.
