Windows 11 File Explorer glitch
If you’ve installed Windows 11 version 24H2 for your business, you might have noticed an annoying glitch in File Explorer.
File Explorer is a familiar window through which you can browse your files and folders. It’s usually straightforward, but some people encounter issues with the “See more” menu after downloading this update.
The menu, marked by three little dots, usually appears below the mouse cursor. It offers options like “Select All” or “View Properties.”
But thanks to a recent bug, the “See more” menu is flying up to the top of the screen, often disappearing out of sight. And if you’re using File Explorer in full-screen mode, some menu options might not even be visible.
Frustrating, to say the least.
Luckily, there’s a simple workaround: Make sure File Explorer runs in windowed mode, which shares the screen with other applications. To do this, click the square icon at the top right corner (next to the “X” you’d click to close it).
You can then resize the File Explorer window, allowing you to use the “See more” menu even if it misbehaves.
The good news is that Microsoft is aware of the problem. They’re working on a fix.
Little glitches like this can be a nuisance when you and your team try to get things done.
