This menu item calls KIO::highlightInFileManager. I guess that function doesn't work on Windows.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-11-23 18:44:23 UTC 
Anyone knowledgeable in Windows just needs to implement a open strategy calling SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-11-23 18:46:08 UTC 
In any case it should already have a fallback for opening just the parent folder without highlighting the file, which might then also be broken?
Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2020-05-31 15:46:15 UTC 
OpenFileManagerWindowJob has been ported to KIO::OpenUrlJob, the latter has a fallback to use QDesktopServices::openUrl() which should work on windows.
