Windows 11 Bug Displays Internal Filenames in Recycle Bin

Microsoft is addressing a bug in Windows that affects the Recycle Bin functionality, where the confirmation prompt for permanently deleting files shows internal system filenames instead of the actual file names. This issue impacts all supported versions of Windows 11 and occurs when users attempt to delete files from the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin itself displays the correct file names, and file restoration works properly. The bug emerged after the June 9 Patch Tuesday updates and affects Windows 11 versions 23H2 through 26H1 and Windows Server versions from 2012 to 2025. Microsoft is working on a fix for this issue, which will be included in an upcoming update. Additionally, other issues have been reported following the updates, including problems with launching Office applications and stability issues like system crashes and BitLocker recovery prompts.

Windows 11’s June patch added a strange Recycle Bin bug, but there’s no need to worry

In the June 9, 2026 Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11, users experienced a bug where the Recycle Bin's confirmation dialog for permanent deletions displayed internal file names (e.g., $Rxxxxx.ext) instead of original filenames. Microsoft acknowledged this issue in its documentation for Windows 11 version 26H1. The Recycle Bin still correctly shows original filenames, and restoring items also uses the original names. This bug arose after installing the June security update (KB5095051), but file management remains functional. Microsoft plans to address this issue in a future update.
