That may possibly include changing a number of stuff, including dropping our shellExecute (SHELL32.dll) commands that display a curious behavior and - more serious issue - changing the virtualizer we use for a new one (replacing molebox virtual box with the enigma virtualizing engine).

Only issue I have encountered (so far) is folder and files that DO exist not appearing in the Windows File Explorer. And, then VFP will sometimes see them (via FILE()) and other times report that they are there when in fact they are not. My application would write to them with new files, but they would not show up in File Explorer. I had to delete them to recycle bin from within VFP and recreate them to get VFP and Windows back in sync. I am not sure if relates to any of the other issue mentioned, but it took me half the day yesterday to resolve.
