The Windows Scan app is particularly bad at this. When you scan a document, it saves the scan as a PNG in Pictures\Scans. This is a sensible place to save scans by default, but it doesn't tell you where. It just says it was saved. There's a button to view it, but this just opens the scan in the Windows Photos app, which (at least, last I checked) doesn't have an option to view the full path of the picture you're viewing or open the folder it's in!

They want you to access everything through search and recently accessed because its so intuitive. It's like they want computers to be as hard to use as possible for people who need to do actual work on many projects in any sort of organized way.

Also, now that IT has integrated everything with OneDrive, I routinely have to wait for my own files to be redownloaded before accessing them.
