Issue

The issue is that the routes make redirecting decisions based on incorrect initial state values.

const [Company, setCompany] = useState(false); // <-- initially false

...

<Route
  path="/Dashboard/YourChildren"
  element={Company // <-- initially false
    ? <YourChildren />
    : <Navigate replace to="/" /> // <-- render redirect
  }
/>

If the current path is "/Dashboard/YourChildren" and the page is reloaded, then on the initial render cycle when the app mounts the Company state value is false and the redirect to "/" is rendered. The useEffect hook doesn't run until the end of the initial render cycle to set the state to the correct value.

Solution

Provide accurate initial state values based on the UserType state.

Example:

const { ..., UserType } = useStateContext();

const [Company, setCompany] = useState(UserType === "company");
const [Doctor, setDoctor] = useState(UserType === "Doctor");
const [Child, setChild] = useState(UserType === "children");
