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 Windows updates flip Recycle Bin prompts to internal filenames

Microsoft says the June 2026 security updates introduce a bug where deleting a single item from the Recycle Bin shows the internal $Rxxxxx filename in the confirmation dialog instead of the original filename, while the Recycle Bin display and restoration work correctly. The issue affects all supported Windows client and server editions after the updates, with a fix planned in a future update. A temporary business workaround is available via Microsoft Support.

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.
