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

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

?

File Explorer is that familiar window you use to browse your files and folders. Normally, it’s straightforward – but some people are running into issues with the “See more” menu after downloading this update.

?

The menu, which is marked by three little dots, usually pops up below your mouse cursor, giving you 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: Just 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, allowing you to use the “See more” menu, even if it’s still misbehaving.

?

The good news is that Microsoft are aware of the problem. They’re working on a fix.

?

Little glitches like this can be a nuisance when you and your team are trying to get things done.
