Windows 11 has been plagued by various bugs since its launch in October 2021. Not all of these bugs had the same impact or affected users in the same way, nor were they equally annoying. Unfortunately, what was common in most cases is Microsoft’s slowness to address them.

Without a doubt, one of the most annoying bugs in Windows 11 was discovered about a year ago and was related to File Explorer. This failure was quite random but very annoying because in short caused file explorer to pop up out of nowhere for no reason when we did something unrelated. So, for example, we could be playing a game and it could suddenly appear in the foreground.

As you might have imagined, this failure can not only be extremely annoying, but it can also scare us quite a bit, as any average user would initially think that it might be something related to a malware infection. This is completely normal as this behavior is usually associated with this type of threat.

Imagine now fear and frustration What can cause this connection and be horrified to find that our security solutions do not find any type of threat on the PC. Nerves, worries and various inconveniences that are also accompanied lost time trying to find a solution to the problem that actually is Microsoft’s fault.

As this was a bug with a random folder labeled as such, it was not easy to reproduce and therefore seemed impossible to find a solution to, but luckily Microsoft managed to “hit the key” and it’s already fixed. We don’t know exactly how the Redmond giant was able to pull this off, but I do know that more than one user ended up getting so upset by this error that they even had to go back to Windows 10 temporarily.

The fix for this crash is integrated into the latest cumulative update that Microsoft released this month, and it’s strange because said update causes Wi-Fi connectivity issues. What can I say, we face an update that fixes and introduces bugs, something that doesn’t surprise me after all because I know the history Microsoft has with Windows 11 and I also remember the problems we had with Windows 10 updates.

If this error occurs in file explorer It is recommended to install update KB5032288, but keep in mind that this fix may cause you Wi-Fi problems. It goes without saying that if you’re using a wired internet connection, you don’t have to worry about anything, because in that case you won’t be affected by these issues.
