Recycle Bin glitch hits every supported Windows version, Microsoft says a fix is coming
Microsoft has acknowledged a Recycle Bin glitch introduced by update KB5094126 that affects all supported Windows client and server versions. In the deletion dialog, the Recycle Bin may display the internal filename instead of the readable name, though the actual file and its deletion/restoration aren’t affected. The issue spans Windows 11 (versions 26H1, 25H2, 24H2, 23H2), Windows 10 (22H2), and several Windows Server releases. A permanent fix is in progress and will likely arrive via a future Windows update; timing (next Patch Tuesday vs. out-of-band) remains unclear. Businesses can contact Microsoft Support for a workaround.
