macOS Monterey opening folders as a new window instead of tabs not working

Hello Morelsky,
We see that you'd rather open folders in tabs versus new windows. We'd recommend verifying the following settings on Change how folders open in the Finder on Mac:
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General.
Click the “Prefer tabs when opening documents” pop-up menu, then choose an option:
You'll want it set to Always.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

Hello, I have try both but it still not working on macOS Monterey.
Nothing has changed in this regard in more than a decade.
Please be clearer as to what is not working as you expected. You should probably start a new thread and give details so people can help.

Hi,
I personally likes this feature, however currently Apple they’re update a lot then make the existing custom functions not working.
I use Mac OS almost fives years now.
In addition to what ShannonM1 said, also look into Finder->Preferences and make sure that
"Open folders in tabs instead of new windows"
is NOT checked.
Thank you so much, it was that! and it's working perfect now!
Did you hide the Toolbar?
I have Monterey and it's working for me.
