Win11 Delete key stops working for file deletion after renaming a file
After renaming a file and pressing Enter to confirm the new name, you may sometimes find that the Delete key does not work to delete the selected file in File Explorer.
The Delete key still works normally in other applications. Restarting File Explorer will restore the Delete key's functionality, but the issue may reoccur after the next renaming operation.
