It does work. It just has this undocumented/hidden feature on downloads.

If the "feature" comes back after disabling it, then I'd make the argument that perhaps no, it's not fully working as intended...

Dunno, you would need to take that up with Microsoft. I am just reporting what I found.

I am giving an answer without looking at the link that accompanies a purported solution. The reason is that after a download, the directory controls have no focus because nothing is selected (nothing is selecting them either). So the raw order prevails until a control selection is made.
Different behavior than previous versions? I don't know. Perhaps the group was highlighted?
Did I get it?

Common, it's not that far, you can even see it from any point in the US

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No - not out of jurisdiction.
As first to set foot there, they own it.
Anyone who objects? Well they should have tried harder to get there first.

You must have lost your copy of the Outer Space treaty of 1967. Among other things, the signatories (which include the US) agree that:
Quote: outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means;
Therefore the US has no jurisdiction on the Moon or any other celestial body.

Outer Space - the place between things (like planets, moons, pita-aggregates).*
Specifically, in one of the bullet points on your reference:
Quote: the Moon and other celestial bodies shall be used exclusively for peaceful purposes; which clearly differentiates the moon as a celestial body vs a component considered outer space.
You are welcome to all the outer space you can grab. I know that terrestrial vacuums suck, but maybe that other stuff is better.
* Aside: does one own their own satellites (nation or business)? Put into outer space, do they become public domain?

The Definition and Delimitation of Outer Space claims that there is no legally accepted standard, but the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale has suggested a limit of 100km for national airspace.
The same presentation claims that there are moves to lower that limit by international treaty. In any case, the limit is far below the Moon's orbit, and therefore the Moon definitely is covered by the Outer Space treaty and other Space treaties.
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: does one own their own satellites (nation or business)? Put into outer space, do they become public domain?
The treaties do not preclude the existence of private property in space; they do forbid annexation or applying national law to any celestial body, including the Moon.
There are some interesting lacunae in the Space treaties, which Ben Bova has used to good effect in his stories (google Ben Bova Asteroid Wars).

Here's where you are in error (in my opinion) and, as a positive note, not a lawyer at heart:
You are mixing the definition of "outer space" and "in outer space". The celestial bodies are not outer space - and in fact, not space at all, but are matter (solid/liquid/gas - suns=plasma).
So - you cannot, per the treaty, codon off a section of the great void and call it your own. You are not excluded, however, from cordoning off an item of "substance" that happens to be within that region.
And if you call me a layer at heart because of this, I will hang my head in shame - but enjoy a smirk, nonetheless.

That is exactly one of the lacunae in the Outer Space treaties.
I expect that Space law will eventually settle on something like this:
- Large bodies (the planets & most of their moons, the Moon, larger asteroids) will probably be treated as international areas (in a manner similar to the way Antarctica is treated), and will have some sort of law enforcement
- Small bodies (e.g. asteroids small enough to be moved with current or foreseeable technology) will be exploited by the first to land and be able to defend their claim
- Any bodies with alien life (possibly Europa's ocean, for example) will be out of bounds to all
This has some similarities to the situation in the old "Wild West". Like the "Wild West", I expect that eventually some sort of law-enforcement organization will be formed with jurisdiction in space. I'm making no predictions of who/what will form this organization, nor on what form it will take...

I know of him, too.
I was referring to a police force, not a military force. The two have very different goals.

It's seems to be a clear distinction - and everyone probably has their own mental image of that distinction. Sometimes, the only difference is their uniform, or arm patch.
But I know what you intended (I think) - in the US, internal use of the "military" is extremely rare. On the other hand, the national guard is used more often. The national guard can also be sent off to war. So, the difference?

I was born in the UK and now live in Israel, where there is a sharp difference between the police and the military. There is no equivalent of the National Guard in either.
