Here’s how to fix that Windows 11 File Explorer glitch • Blisstech Solutions

If you’ve installed version 24H2 of Windows 11 for your business, you might have noticed an annoying File Explorer glitch.

File Explorer is the familiar window you use to browse your files and folders. Normally, it’s straightforward, but some people are having 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 you’re running File Explorer in windowed mode, where it shares the screen with other applications. To do this, click the square icon in the top-right corner (next to the “X” you’d click to close it).

You can then resize the File Explorer window, which allows you to use the “See more” menu even if it’s still misbehaving.

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.
