In Tools menu | Folder Options, on the File Types tab, select "Folder" and click Advanced. In there is a list of "Actions". If "explore" is in the list, select it instead of "search" and click the Set Default button. If it is not in the list, click the New... button. Type "explore" into the Action field then Browse... to Window/explorer.exe and click OK. Now select "explore" and click the Set Default button.
Let us know how things turn out.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
