Additional context
Using in production project I'm working on seems to actually return and assign a value to the path var. I'm able to save the path to a config file that then allows the app to run after reloading with the selected path, however always causes a crash when selecting.

#1297 related.
I faced the same problem. I avoided the problem by reverting the version back to 5.3.1.

Thanks Inoko. I'll give that a try. I might even move to file_selector 0.9.5.

file_picker: 5.3.1, this works for me, first I was using file_picker: ^5.3.2 and I checked for my windows updates and installed them,
I am using windows 11. I tried by using just file_picker: 5.3.1 not using the "^" symbol, it works without any issues for me.

My usage scenario is very special. The flet upgrade from 0.7.4 to 0.8.2 reconstructs a lot of authentication code. I have made my project compatible with the latest version, and it is impossible for them to go back to the old version... So I can only wait for the flet to upgrade to the new version, this is the only way.
