Windows 11 June 2026 Update Breaks Recycle Bin Dialogs, OneDrive Access, and BSOD Rep

Microsoft has confirmed a bug affecting the Recycle Bin in Windows 11 after this month's Patch Tuesday update.
 
Users have also reported various other problems since the rollout of the June 2026 update earlier this week, including issues with OneDrive access, File Explorer performance, Blue Screen of Death errors, and BitLocker Recovery prompts.
 
The Recycle Bin issue is the only bug Microsoft has officially acknowledged so far. The update in question is KB5095051.
 
According to Microsoft’s known issues page, the Recycle Bin problem appears to be an edge case linked to the confirmation dialog, and it is not associated with data loss.

The Confirmed Recycle Bin Bug And Other Issues Reported by Users

Users who have installed KB5095051 might notice unusual behavior in the Recycle Bin when permanently deleting a single file. Instead of the original filename like realfilename.txt, the confirmation dialog shows a cryptic internal filename such as $Rxxxxx.ext.

This issue is limited to the confirmation prompt; the Recycle Bin window itself continues to display the correct original filename. When restoring a file, it returns to its original location with the correct name.

Files deleted through the dialog are removed as expected, so the bug does not cause data loss or major disruption. Microsoft states a workaround is available, but only commercial users can implement it.
