Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows
Nelots@piefed.zip 14 hours agoI’m pretty sure they should be referring specifically to Windows 11, as it’s still receiving updates.
The article actually goes into further detail on what exact versions its an issue on.
This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including:
- Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016
- Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012

For now, I’m sure they’re working out how to best break it as we speak.

Back in the day, I dinked around with the Windows registry, and found one value under the Recycle Bin CLSID key that you can change a couple of flag bits, to enable Rename and even Delete in the right click context menu of the Recycle Bin, and both actually work LOL!
Once the Recycle Bin is deleted though, it doesn’t just stop working, it just disappears from the Desktop, and can only be restored in another area of the registry under the Desktop NameSpace key by adding the Recycle Bin CLSID back.
Definitely not safe, so very understandable that Microsoft (before the slop era of course) would disable deletion of the Recycle Bin. I have no idea why they’d also disable the ability to Rename the Recycle Bin though, I’d always enable that flag bit, so I could rename it to Shit Can Hahaha!
