When permanently deleting a single item from the Recycle Bin, the confirmation dialog displays the internal Recycle Bin filename (for example, $Rxxxxx.ext) instead of the original filename. The Recycle Bin itself correctly displays the original filename, and restoring the item also restores it using the original filename.

This issue occurs after installing the Windows security update released on June 9, 2026 (KB5094126).

Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released June 23, 2026 (KB5095093), and later. We recommend you install the latest update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one. If your organization has installed an update released on June 23, 2026, or later, you do not need to use a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) or a special Group Policy to resolve this issue.
