One person of the class could not select files from his local device in ArcGIS Pro. The navigation to the interesting folder ist possible but afterwards the geodata files are not shown. There is a curious "Default" selection below (see image below). That is the main difference between the functionalities in the class. But it happens for every file selection in ArcGIS Pro. Does someone have an idea how to solve this problem? Thanks for an answer.

Hi BrianBulla. We are using ArcGIS Pro 3.1 for the whole class. Just one person are not able to select specific datasets because the field datatype has the value "Default". It happend for every data selection. Your field value "Tables and Attribute Tables ..." looks much better. Is there an option to specify the content in the datatype field? Or is it an option on Windows and not in ArcGIS Pro?

No options as far as I am aware.  I don't remember ever changing any settings that would affect what is shown there.

We updated the software but could not see a difference. After the reinstallation of the software the error was gone. Nevertheless, thanks for your time!
