Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday update strikes again

Microsoft has confirmed a bug affecting the Recycle Bin across all supported versions of Windows following its June 2026 Patch Tuesday update. The glitch causes the confirmation dialog to display an "internal" filename instead of the user-friendly filename when deleting files, although the actual file and its deletion process remain unaffected. The issue affects various Windows client and server versions, including Windows 11 (versions 26H1, 25H2, 24H2, 23H2), Windows 10 (versions 22H2, Enterprise LTSC 2021, Enterprise LTSC 2019, Enterprise LTSB 2016), and Windows Server (2025, 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012). Microsoft is developing a permanent solution, but it is unclear when it will be released. Commercial customers can contact Microsoft Support for Business for a workaround.

After years of forgetting Windows shortcuts, I finally found a method that makes them stick

On Windows 11, keyboard shortcuts enhance productivity, but many users are only aware of a few common ones like "Windows key + E" for File Explorer and "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" for copying and pasting. To help users discover more shortcuts, the Microsoft team behind PowerToys has released a revamped Shortcut Guide in version 0.100. This guide can be accessed through the GitHub page or the Microsoft Store and activated via PowerToys settings. Users can customize the guide's color theme, position, and exclude specific applications. The guide can be opened using the "Windows key + Shift + /" shortcut and provides organized shortcuts for Windows 11 and PowerToys. It also includes context-aware functionality, showing relevant shortcuts based on the active application. The development team has provided guidelines for developers to integrate their apps into the Shortcut Guide.
