Directory Opus conflicts with Win 11 Control Panel

  • Do you mean the old Control Panel from Windows 7 and earlier (and still there in 11 but somewhat hidden/deprecated), or the newer Settings?

  • How is the shortcut added to the desktop? There isn't one by default.

    I tried adding the Control Panel shortcut to the desktop via Personalization > Themes > Desktop Icon Settings, and it works OK for me with Opus set to replace Explorer.

  • What do you have set under Preferences / Launching Opus / Explorer Replacement?

    (The "recommended" setting there is usually best, and should completely ignore Control Panel.)

  • Have you installed any other file managers that can replace Explorer? We've had similar threads which turned out to be a conflict between their registry settings and ours.

  • Make sure Compatibility Mode is not turned on for any of the Opus executables, as that can mess up Explorer Replacement: Windows Compatibility Settings / Wrong DPI / Installer misdetects OS
