Issue with Explorer++ 1.4.0.831 x64

Hello David.
I've been using latest stable Explorer++ (1.3.5 x64) for some time (in portable mode), on Windows 10 x64 and couple of days ago I've upgrade to latest dev version (1.4.0.831 x64).
I am using it as explorer replacement.
There's issue with opening shortcuts to drives. I have shortcut to D: drive and latest explorer++ (1.4.0.831 x64) is opening but going to default new tab folder (This PC).
Same issue is happening on Windows 7 x64.
Latest stable 1.3.5 x64 doesn't have this issue.
This can be reproduced from cmd, for example:
start d:
which should open explorer++ in D drive.
On the other hand, if I type in cmd:
start %APPDATA%
this works fine and opens C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming

Also opening this from cmd:
"C:\Program Files\explorer++\Explorer++.exe" "d:"
works as expected (opens D drive).

If I create shortcut to some dir (for example C:\Windows), it works fine. This also works:
start c:\Windows

So looks like issue is just with opening root of drives.

Looks like this isn't resolved yet.
So I tried several previous versions and looks like 1.4.0.796 doesn't have this issue, and next one (1.4.0.799) has it.
This is what was added/changed in that version.
Use CLI11 to parse command line options
This has a few advantages over the previous manual approach:

- The option parsing is handled by the library, so it doesn't need to be
done manually.
- More detailed help usage is now shown when passing the -h/--help flag.
Information about each of the available options is shown.
- Options can be marked as mutually exclusive. This is done with the
--remove_as_default and --set_as_default flags, for example.
- Options can be passed in in windows style (e.g. /help).
- Although not used at the moment, the library also offers other
features, such as the ability to validate and transform input values.
Something here broke this functionality.

It has happened to me as well, although it didn't happen on another computer running Win8.1, so it looks like it's a Win10-only thing.
