You thought it was a fluke? The troubles continue
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-11-update-breaks-file-explorer-among-other-glitches/>.
Now Microsoft is breaking basic things like File Explorer!

You know how Microsoft is ending free support for Windows 10, and is
pushing everybody to Windows 11? It’s looking more and more like this
will be a step *down* in software quality, not just now but into the
future:

    Each annual Windows update can suffer from bugs, especially after
    being rolled out to millions of users. However, Windows 11 24H2
    has been more problematic than usual. Since its official launch
    last October, the 2024 version has carried with it a host of known
    issues, many of which still haven't been resolved. As we get
    closer to the October 2025 deadline for the Windows 10 support
    cutoff, Microsoft needs to ensure that Windows 11 is a more stable
    and reliable system.
