"Expand to current folder" doesn't work in File Explorer (Windows 11 versions 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2)
The "Expand to current folder" command in File Explorer in Windows 11 does not work for most Quick Access items in the navigation pane. Is Microsoft aware of this issue, and if so, when do we expect a fix this problem? The bug appears to be a widespread problem report by many users over the past year or so. The problem first occurred with Windows version 22H2, and still exists even with the latest update, Windows version 24H2. The recently monthly updates have not resolved this issue either. Although the February 2025 update is supposed to introduce important fixes to File Explorer, there is no mention on Microsoft's Update website about a fix to the "Expand to current folder" bug. I only recently purchased a new computer several months ago and right away I noticed the problem. The "Expand to current folder" command simply doesn't work anymore for any of the quick access items (i.e., Documents, Pictures, Music, etc., and one's user folders) in the left navigation pane. It only works if one clicks on Quick Access items that points to folders on the C:\ drive and other drives. The only recourse for the time being is to choose the option to "Show all folders", which works, but is rather awkward to use and has its own issues. Despite users' attempts to report the problem to Microsoft, it seems there has not yet been any acknowledgment from Microsoft about this bug and whether a fix is planned. If other users are experiencing this same issue, I can only suggest that users report this issue to Microsoft. It's rather unfortunate that the "Expand to current folder" doesn't work anymore like it did in Windows 10. It was very useful and saved a lot of time.SolveddschmidJul 07, 2025Copper Contributor299Views2likes4CommentsPanda usb vaccine not working on 24H2
I've been using Panda usb vaccine for years and find it very useful (and reassuring), especially when buying used notebooks and netbooks that could be infected. It worked in 23H2 (despite giving a shell notification pop up) but got removed when I upgraded to 24H2. Reinstalled it and it didn't show up or work. Tried reinstalling it in Windows 8 compatibility mode and it still didn't show up or work. Has anyone managed to get it working in 24H2? I am maybe a bit OCD about usb sticks but started using it after a nasty trojan jumped onto a usb stick from a used laptop and then jumped straight onto the next computer it was installed on (albeit antivirus did block it, but not straight away!).WinstyJul 07, 2025Iron Contributor14Views0likes1CommentTweaker Crashes Windows 11
I've used TWEAKER for many years on my computers. Recently, though, on my Alienware Computer with an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor, running Tweaker corrupts Windows. This has happened to me twice this year causing me to load in a backup Windows copy. I'm hesitant to run Tweaker again. Any explanation for the corruption?EaisomLeeJul 07, 2025Iron Contributor7Views0likes0CommentsAny way we can login Windows 11 Pro using Fingerprint only without PIN?
Recently I owned a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9th Gen, and setup the Fingerpint and PIN on the device with Windows 11 Pro installed. Everytime when I try to use fingerprint to login to the Windows, it will prompt to ask me to enter the PIN as well. Is there any way we can set to login using fingerprint only without enter the PIN?terricktayJul 07, 2025Copper Contributor24Views0likes2CommentsCan't Return My Users Folder To Default Location On C: Drive
I recently had an unrelated problem with my Windows installation. Techs from Microsoft re-installed my Windows 11 Pro after which many of my folders were in the wrong location. I tried all the solutions I could find during a Google search but so far, nothing has worked. I found my Users folder on my D: drive however it was empty. I'd like to return my Users Folder to it's default location on the C: Drive. I've exhausted all the solutions I can find so I would appreciate any help on this topic. Many thanks,WhitteJul 07, 2025Iron Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsNeed advice to install Windows 11 25H2 on unsupported PC
My PC is currently running Windows 11 24H2 and need some help to install Windows 11 25H2 on it thought the ISO is not publicly available yet. Fortunately, I managed to download 25H2 ISO from uup dump. When I run the setup.exe from ISO for in-place upgrade, it says my PC process is not supported and can't proceed. I need some advice to install Windows 11 25H2 on my unsupported PC so I can test the new version in advance.

Windows 11 KB5060829 is June 2025’s optional update for Windows 11 24H2 rolling out with a new taskbar scaling feature, a new PC Migration app with PC-to-PC file transfer and more. It’s released via Windows Update, but as always, Microsoft has posted direct download links for KB5060829 offline installers (.msu) files on Update Catalog.LucianFrosJul 07, 2025Iron Contributor852Views0likes10CommentsCumulative Update Preview
My snipping tool would capture audio but yielded a black screen when I used screen recording. I found a YouTube channel about the topic and the creator of the channel suggested that my Windows 11 might be out of date. I checked and saw that it said everything was up to date. At that time, I also saw "Cumulative Update Preview." Without thinking or researching, I hit "Download and Install." As it was downloading, I looked into the program and decided that I didn't want to get involved in this whole process. I quickly restarted my computer thinking that it would stop the download of the Cumulative Update Preview. Unfortunately, when the computer started up again so did the download.... When I searched my computer for "KB5055627," I got four results: CompDB_KB5055627_bundle.xml LCUCompDB_KB5055627.xml outer.AggregatedMetadata_KB5055627.cab Windows11.0-KB5055627-x64 The last one was a folder full of Manifest files, MUM files and Security Catalogs. To officially install Cumulative Update Preview, a restart of my computer is required. I DO NOT want to install this program. Can I just delete the above-mentioned files/folders, and my computer will be back the way it was before the download? I'm hopeful (but kind of doubtful) that it would be that simple.BrianYoungJul 07, 2025Iron Contributor28Views0likes1Comment
