Windows 11

Microsoft acknowledges a Windows 11 bug affecting the Recycle Bin, and 'fed up' users think AI coding is to blame

Gotta love MS, they are consistent. Patch Tuesday = Bug Tuesday 😛

Yes, 100 percent Ai Coding is to blame. That being said, it's just the name of the files in the bin. Not detrimental to the function of the OS. They still delete and or stay there just the same.

I just given up reading all the crap about everything now. Mine works thats' all I care about. The few people having issue after issue is basically youtubers and sensationalist media. I have stopped watching and reading about microsoft issues, BS etc. I read about features and stuff, but gave up on the Negative since nothing negative has happened to my systems since XP. I have never had a BSOD on any system since then. DONE.

Just got my third replacement bottom case for my Dell laptop. It's staying closed until I have to replace a part out of necessity. The last one was going off and on about 6 times a week going back and forth between Zorin and Win11. I would read something and get angry, swap to Zorin, try to do something and couldn't and move back to 11. Rinse and repeat for god knows how long. I am exhausted and DONE! Windows is where I am staying, and where my family (besides my oldest who has a work provided M2 air) is comfortable. Microsoft wins by default as it's what we used for our entire computing lives.

That's definitely cool but a lot of software applications have already dropped support for Windows 10.

rightfully so. windows 10 is done. Even though people still use it, doesn't mean that its current, relevant or anything of the sort. Move to windows 11 via flyoobe, turn off all the telemetry, ai, and ad bs and enjoy current windows. Once that's done, it's not bad at all.

My old system that my wife is now using is working fine with the "flyoobe'ed" windows 11 home install. It's a low powered laptop using the 4405y processor, 16gb ram and a 1tb SSD. It boots quick, and once settled down after initial boot, it runs all the things she would do on her pc.

How Windows beat the Macintosh is ancient history (and often debated), but how and why we deal with this **** today is just perplexing. The world depends on this crap and it always lets us down. Microsoft then has the balls to say something like, "We're sorry. Give us another chance! We'll make Windows better, promise!" Then they screw up again.

If only Apple "won".

A Windows 11 bug can eat 500GB of your storage. Here’s how to check



This might be useful to know for folks who are on win 11 here.

First I've heard of the bug and it's been around for over a year. I haven't seen it on my Windows subreddits either. I typically run HWMonitor once or twice a month to go over system health like package power consumption, thermals, GPU and it includes drive health. It would be nice to have something like Macs Fan Control stats in the task bar.

Apple wouldn't be where it is if they had to support random hardware like Microsoft does (along with backwards compatibility).

I read about the problems with Tahoe and the bugs in Goldengate and ask when macOS will get its act together.

Windows 11 has been exceptionally smooth for me once I got it set up. I'm running two main systems with it and relearning one made it a lot easier to modify the other. I have not run into the catastrophic problems that a few Windows users have. Nor the catastrophic problems that Mac users have that I run into daily on the Mac subreddits.

I'm sure that the same sentiment of love and hate exists for Linux.

This is a new bug, if you google it, you'll see a number of articles as of 2026, not 2025

That's not to say MS didn't have that problem last year, because we know how buggy their patching has been, so its no surprise its happened before
Edit:
I also get a shoot the messenger vibe, its not my fault that MS is having massive quality problems, I feel you keep trying to marginalize and minimize and defend MS. I'm just reporting what I read.

From the article you linked:

Apparently, this issue has been present in Windows 11 for some time, as the first reports of it date back as far as a year ago. Microsoft has indirectly acknowledged the problem with a fix for it, which is already available in the June 2026 optional update but will be rolled out to all users in next month’s July Patch Tuesday update.

I merely reported what I've observed in the subreddits that I follow. If a problem is widespread, I see multiple posts on it

I see reports of System Data is using up all of my storage far more frequently than storage issues on Windows.

All I'm saying is that everything I linked too is something that is just happening recently not in 2025.

One final point, I wanted to post this so others can be aware, not debate the age, or veracity of the bug. Its not worth a fight over, so I'm moving on.

The bug has been around, reported and Microsoft fixed it. It was clearly not widespread or a large enough problem for Microsoft to fix it when it was reported and I've seen zero evidence of the problem. That Microsoft fixed it is great but it's standard Pareto process on bugs.
