Microsoft: June 2026 Windows updates break Recycle Bin prompts
Microsoft said the bug affects supported Windows releases and shows internal Recycle Bin names only in the delete confirmation dialog.
- Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update where the Recycle Bin displays internal filenames like "$Rxxxxx.ext" instead of original names in deletion confirmation dialogs on Windows 11.
- The bug affects all supported client and server platforms after users installed the June 2026 security updates earlier this week, impacting systems from Windows Server 2025 down to Windows Server 2012.
- Despite the incorrect confirmation dialog, the Recycle Bin window correctly displays the original filename, and restoring items works as expected, meaning file deletion proceeds normally once confirmed.
- Commercial users can contact Business Support for a temporary mitigation while Microsoft develops a permanent fix for a future update; others must wait for the official patch.
- Users have reported additional issues following the June update, including problems with Office applications, OneDrive, and BitLocker Recovery, though the Recycle Bin error remains the only bug Microsoft has officially confirmed.
