"Expand to current folder" doesn't work in File Explorer (Windows 11 versions 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2)
It's highly likely that Microsoft is aware of the bug. Issues reported by many users generally get flagged. However, the official acknowledgment might not be explicit through a public statement or a specific mention in update notes.

Hi Kaydenyo,
Thanks for your reply. I hope the issue will be addressed by Microsoft. This has gone on for about 2 years.
I seem to recall that Microsoft recently advertised and hired programmers to work on File Explorer in Windows 11 to fix a variety of performance issues, remove bugs, and implement the tabbed user interface. File Explorer has come a long way, regardless.
The "Expand to current folder" feature is something that is familiar to all Windows 10 users. And those users expect the same feature to work in Windows 11. I only switched to Windows 11 back in November after I purchased my computer to replace a 15 year old laptop. Funny how breaking just one useful little feature can generate a huge disappointment.
MS keeps taking away all the useful features like this one as well as the resizable taskbar..Its a pain to use Win11 taskbar with all real estate remaining unused and all icons getting combined. Then outlook messages are a pain to read on laptops especially when the reading pane is set as 'below'. So much real estate goes waste in just the mail header while the mail body is not viewable or only displays a single line max. I think MS is aware of all these issues but they are lazy to fix
a workaround that might not help you but that helps me is to set the display size from 125% to 100% or smaller, then adjusting font size to be larger to compensate for that.
