    Description

      For an existing file,

      java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browseFileDirectory(file);

      throws an UnsupportedOperationException on Windows 10.

      Stacktrace:

      java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The BROWSE_FILE_DIR action is not supported on the current platform!
      at java.desktop/java.awt.Desktop.checkActionSupport(Desktop.java:380)
      at java.desktop/java.awt.Desktop.browseFileDirectory(Desktop.java:1000)

      This is somewhat surprising, as Windows 10 is not an exotic platform that does not support file browsing (via its File Explorer).
