windows explorer navigation issue

Dears, 
   I have an issue with windows explorer that has been there for a long time even with 24h2, related to opening the windows explorer using windows + e, after opening the file explorer I use the arrow keys for navigation am not able to navigate to e.g. D:// driver using arrows in the following cases
- if i opened windows media player then clicked windows + e 
- if i opened windows settings windows + i , then after it click windows + e 

it seems that windows explorer lose focus if it was running at the top of these apps, I need to click on the windows explorer active window in order to regain the focus.

very annoying issue hope it will be fixed soon, it keeps me from upgrading to windows 11.

Thanks
