Windows 10 + OneDrive. Failures in the selection of priority folders, synchronization of the Document and Pictures system folders?

How it used to be:
There were trees in the Navigation Pane in File Explorer:

  • Quick access - last used
  • OneDrive - a cloud folder that syncs with the entire home PC
  • This computer - respectively, everything that belongs to a single PC along local paths
  • Network - Network environment of a single PC

How it became:
  • Quick access - last used
  • OneDrive - a cloud folder that syncs with the entire home PC
  • This computer - The Documents and Pictures folders have a duplicate path to Users\Username\OneDrive, respectively pulling up the contents of the cloud from OneDrive
  • Network - Network environment of a single PC

As a result, the real Documents folder, on a single PC, lies only along the full path C:\Users\Username\Documents. Everything is as it was, but you can’t get there through the navigation area. You can add another "Libraries" tree and place two Documents folders there at once (one from the cloud and one local).
Who came across, tell me how to bring it into a divine form. It looks like some update still caught on OneDrive. Until now, it worked like clockwork: the cloud shared folder and the local files of the tree " This PC" individually for each machine.
Added: Yes, of course, you can change the path to the Pictures folder through Properties - Location..that doesn't really happen, it refers to the fact that there is a folder in the location C:\Users\Username\Pictures that cannot be redirected. And there is no Location tab for Documents at all.
