New Windows bug affects the Recycle Bin in all versions of the system

General News

Summary

Microsoft’s June Windows update introduced a bug that affects the Recycle Bin across compatible Windows versions. When users try to permanently delete a file, the confirmation dialog can show an internal filename like $Rxxxxx.ext instead of the original file name. The issue is limited to the dialog window, so the original name still appears in the folder and during restore. Microsoft says it is already working on a fix and will release it in a future update. The article also notes that the same Patch Tuesday update has drawn negative feedback because of cloud access problems and blue-screen reports.
