Describe the bug

Middleware created for redirecting user from /admin to custom page is not working in 4.19.1Version

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create Middleware for Redirection from /admin to admin/content-manager/collection-types/api::api-name.api-name
2. Login to /admin using admin/editor credentials
3. Once we add below code in middleware created for root of library

**'use strict';

/**
redirect` middleware
*/

module.exports = (config, { strapi }) => {
const redirects = ["/", "/index.html", "/admin", "/admin/auth/login"].map((path) => ({
method: "GET",
path,
handler: (ctx) => ctx.redirect("/admin/content-manager/collectionType/api::api-name.api-name"),
config: { auth: false },
}));

strapi.server.routes(redirects);

};**

4. Successfull login user should get redirected to /admin/content-manager/collectionType/api::api-name.api-name page.

5. Page is still loading with welcome screen, but when user refreshes the page screen is loading as expected. This is working fine in 4.16.2 version.

Expected behavior

Once user logs in user should see the collection type/ content manager screen as per code in middleware. This is working fine in 4.16.2 version.

Code snippets

'use strict';

/**
redirect` middleware
*/

module.exports = (config, { strapi }) => {
const redirects = ["/", "/index.html", "/admin", "/admin/auth/login"].map((path) => ({
method: "GET",
path,
handler: (ctx) => ctx.redirect("/admin/content-manager/collectionType/api::api-name.api-name"),
config: { auth: false },
}));

strapi.server.routes(redirects);

};

Additional context

This is working fine in 4.16.2.

I see that this issue was closed, but this issue actually is a bug.

Redirects only happen on a hard refresh of a route you want to redirect from.

/admin/ with redirect to a user specific location when hitting return on that route in the URL bar but will not if a link is clicked from inside the admin application.

I'm seeing this issue in 4.20.4
