- The Windows 11 patch causes problems with the file explorer for some
- This means that some – or most – files on the desktop do not open
- There are also installation chess reports and PCs are not to start
Microsoft’s latest update for Windows 11 has launched other keys in work for those that upgraded to the most recent 24h2 spin of the desktop system.
The February Cumulative Cumulative Update for 24H2 users (known as Patch KB5051987) has done admirable work on the front fixing front, but also seems to have also introduced new problems to this embodiment of Windows 11 .
And two of these problems are very disturbing, the first of which is a bug that apparently plays wreaking havoc with File Explorer, as reported by Windows last and other Windows 11 users on various online forums.
File Explorer is the application in which your desktop files are displayed, allowing you to display and interact with the files inside. Due to this bug, however, you cannot really display the files, because some folders refuse to open.
Windows the last one observes that the documents of documents and images commonly used are non -functional after the installation of the February update for Windows 11 24h2. File Explorer does not work either when accessible via the Windows 11 search function or an office shortcut.
Other users report various problems with the opening of certain files, or even most files – although some of them always seem to work.
It is a strange bug, in short, which has unpredictable effects. But if you have installed KB5051987 and you meet a strangeness in terms of files that simply do not work or do not appear at all – even if File Explorer is very well, as normal, in Windows 11 – Well, well, That’s why.
In addition to the floconneous with File Explorer, the February update fails to settle for some Windows 11 users (although this is nothing new – this is a common problem with many updates Windows these days). For some, the download and installation process is quickly hidden from a certain percentage, and for others, it could possibly finish, but it takes hours.
Concern, some people report that KB5051987 causes accidents (blue screens of death) after its installation, or that it has even completely torpedred their Windows 11 – Yikes installation.
Windows Last also indicates that potential problems with webcams do not work, and the mouse cursor moving slowly and stuttering (as well as performance problems in general).
Analysis: deposit it under “concern”
Just when I expressed the hope that Microsoft finally gets above all the problems with Windows 11 – which have been numerous since the upgrade was posted last year – we have apparently a Doozy of a Gremlin with the internal functioning of File Explorer in one way or another.
File Explorer is an essential part of the Windows interface – as indicated, these are the very folders that you browse to access all the files of your PC – so to see it partially (or almost entirely in some cases) by Hackstrung is very disappointing.
This is a fairly largely reported problem, and like the latest Windows notes, it has more than 30 reports sent by readers (perhaps even more). There are also a lot of grunts (naturally) on this subject on Reddit and other forums.
One of your first reflections – it was certainly one of mine – was that a utility of third -party personalization could be to blame, but Windows tried the last of a completely vanilla installation of Windows 11, and This too was affected. There does not seem to be commonalities between those who suffer in the hands of this strange bug, not yet anyway – and there is no solution suggested for the moment. (Except for the obvious conduct line – Uninstall the February update).
That said, in one of the complaints of Reddit that I covered, I noticed that someone offered the idea of ​​deactivating the Windows sandbox, and it would have worked for two people. It could therefore be worth it, but keep in mind that Sandbox is not available on Windows 11 Home. So, only those who have professional publishing can consider this possible solution, and most people direct the flavor of the house of the operating system, of course.
In addition to the problem of the file explorer, the installation reports are very worrying, in particular those who have apparently completely broken Windows 11. Fortunately, these reports seem much rarer, but still – prudence could be The best value of the value here, and you may want to postpone the installation of the February update for as long as you can. (Which, I must note, for users of Windows 11 at home is not so long). In this case, you will of course work without the safety fixes provided by the patch, which is not ideal either.
With a little luck, Microsoft will investigate these problems and hope, will act as soon as possible.
