Local fix
Problem summary
The product starts up with the RSE telnet and FTP connection types enabled by default but since neither of these is used by z/OS Explorer, they should be disabled by default.
Problem conclusion
Behavior changed to disable these connection types as default start up options.
Temporary fix
