June Windows 11 patch spawns Recycle Bin glitch and broader stability woes

Microsoft confirms a bug in the June 2026 Windows 11 Patch Tuesday (KB5095051) where the Recycle Bin’s delete-confirmation shows cryptic internal filenames like $Rxxxx.ext, though the delete action still works and items retain their original names in the window; a workaround is available for commercial devices via Microsoft Support for Business, with a permanent fix coming in a future update. The update also brings issues such as OneDrive access problems, slow File Explorer performance, sporadic BSODs on some HP machines, freezes on some Lenovo PCs, and BitLocker Recovery triggers on devices with local accounts.

June 2026 Patch Tuesday Breaks Windows 11: Freezes, BitLocker Recovery, and OneDrive Glitches

Microsoft’s June 2026 Patch Tuesday update KB5094126 for Windows 11 (versions 24H2 and 25H2) has triggered widespread issues, including rapid system freezes requiring WinRE or OS reinstall, forced BitLocker recovery on reboot, and broken OneDrive Explorer integration on domain PCs. Some devices also face LAN outages while staying online, with HP machines reporting BSOD tied to ESP space. Workarounds include registry tweaks to bypass ESP failures and rolling back via WinRE, though Microsoft has not publicly acknowledged these problems in the KB. The update does deliver security fixes plus features like Bluetooth LE Audio and Windows Hello improvements, but reliability has been adversely affected for many users.

June 2026 Windows 11 Update Triggers Boot Issues on HP Devices and Disrupts Cloud File Access

The June 2026 Windows 11 patch KB5094126, while adding features like Low Latency Profile, is causing boot failures (BSOD/BitLocker recovery) on certain PCs, especially HP models, likely due to BIOS/EFI partition size and Secure Boot certificate updates. It also breaks OneDrive (and other cloud storage) in File Explorer, disrupts Word automation in some business apps, and alters desktop.ini folder customizations. Workarounds include temporarily disabling Secure Boot, backing up BitLocker keys, booting into BIOS to disable Secure Boot, installing the update, then re-enabling Secure Boot, and ensuring BIOS/UEFI updates and sufficient EFI space. If problems persist, uninstalling KB5094126 may be necessary.

Samsung Gallery ends direct OneDrive backups this September

Microsoft has confirmed that Samsung Gallery will stop syncing photos directly to OneDrive on September 30, 2026. If you want to keep backing up to OneDrive, you must update your camera-backup settings in the OneDrive app and ensure the correct account is used; otherwise, OneDrive-backed photos won’t appear in Samsung Gallery after the cutoff. Samsung plans to replace OneDrive with its own cloud solution, and after the date you’ll still be able to access your OneDrive-stored photos via the OneDrive website or the app.

Windows 11 tops 1B users as backlash grows over updates and AI

Microsoft says Windows 11 has over 1 billion monthly users, but the mood among users is largely negative due to glitchy updates, a rapid rollout of Copilot/AI features, persistent upsells, forced OneDrive changes, and a sense that consumer needs aren’t being prioritized over enterprise concerns.

Microsoft rolls out a second emergency Windows 11 patch to stabilize Outlook

Microsoft has issued a second out-of-band patch for Windows 11 to fix Outlook crashes and cloud-storage issues caused by the January security update; the cumulative update addresses unresponsiveness when apps access cloud-backed files (such as OneDrive PST locations) and follows earlier fixes for shutdown/log-in problems.

January 2026 Windows Update Sparks Fresh Bugs, Hitting Outlook and Cloud Apps

The January Patch Tuesday Windows update, designed to fix security flaws, also introduced several fresh bugs: Outlook freezing/not responding (with PSTs on OneDrive), app errors when opening cloud-saved files, and licensing/Store issues for some apps. Microsoft released at least one out-of-band fix for Remote Desktop and Secure Launch, but many problems remain unresolved. Workarounds include using Outlook on the web, moving PST files off OneDrive, or uninstalling the update while awaiting a fuller fix.

Microsoft offers temporary workaround for Outlook freezes after Windows updates

Microsoft says Outlook can freeze after this month’s Windows security updates (KB5074109/KB5073724) for users with POP accounts on Windows 11 25H2/24H2 and Windows 10/Servers. Symptoms include the Outlook window becoming unresponsive, needing Task Manager or a restart to reopen, re-downloading emails, and Sent Items not showing. If PSTs are stored in OneDrive, similar issues can occur; Microsoft notes broader impacts across Windows 10 and Windows Server versions. Workarounds include using webmail, moving PST files out of OneDrive, or uninstalling the affected updates (KB5074109 or KB5073724), though removing updates can expose devices to security risks. Microsoft is investigating with no ETA for a fix.

Microsoft 365 Premium: the price tag doesn't match the value for most users

ZDNET argues that Microsoft 365 Premium costs more without clear added value, as its AI credits are vague and hard to gauge. For most users, Personal offers desktop apps, 1 TB OneDrive per person, and Copilot at a lower price, while Family adds sharing but Copilot access is limited to the account owner. Basic is too limited for desktop Office apps. In short, skip Premium unless you specifically need its AI features and can tolerate uncertain limits; otherwise choose Personal or Family.
