When using the search function, search results cannot be sorted by modification date.
After performing a file search in File Explorer, the Modified Date column header in the search results list cannot be clicked to sort the results, and the sort option appears grayed out and unavailable. You can only sort by name; sorting by date is not possible. The sorting function returns to normal after exiting the search and returning to the standard folder view.
A problem has occurred with the window
When the window is maximized, dragging the title bar with the mouse does not restore the window to its normal resizable state. The drag action is ignored, or the window flickers briefly but remains maximized. Double-clicking the title bar also has no effect; you must manually click the restore button in the upper-right corner to restore the window to its normal size.
When switching projection modes, the panel appears but the options do not respond when tapped
After pressing the Win + P shortcut, the projection mode panel on the right side of the screen pops up as expected, but clicking options such as Duplicate,Extend, or Computer screen only produces no response. I am unable to switch display modes and must manually adjust them via Settings → System → Display → Multiple displays.When dragging a file onto a pinned app on the taskbar, the app cannot accept the file and open it
When you drag a file from File Explorer onto an app icon pinned to the taskbar, the app does not automatically launch or open the file, and the drag-and-drop action produces no response. Even if the app itself supports opening files via drag-and-drop, this feature does not work.After entering the passcode on the lock screen, the system freezes on a black screen.
After entering my password or PIN on the lock screen and pressing Enter, the screen goes black and stays that way for 5–10 seconds before the desktop appears. This issue does not occur every time I log in, but it happens quite frequently. I have tried disabling Fast Startup and updating my graphics card drivers, but the problem persists.In Windows 11, the app icon remains on the taskbar even after the app is closed in Task Manager
After ending an application's process via Task Manager, the application's taskbar icon does not disappear immediately; it remains visible on the taskbar. When you hover the mouse over this lingering icon, it suddenly disappears. Although this does not affect usability, it creates a visually cluttered appearance.
Class not registered message when trying to access windows menu
Got a strange issue with mulitple machines that seems to be growing. When users try to access Office applications, the windows start menu or search they get a pop up stating "Class not registered" for Explorer.exe. A profile rebuild or renaming the NTUSER.DAT file will resolve the issue, but sometimes this is temporary. We have investigated any changes that may have occured such as Dell updates, Windows updates etc. but cannot seem to be able to find the smoking gun. Also, the user seems to lose access to their user profile registry hive as well. We have enabled the registry audit GPO to at least try to see what is making these changes, so this may be of some help. Thank you for your comments.It is recommended that Windows 11 decouple the Shell/URI activation mechanism from File Explorer
It is recommended to decouple Windows' Shell/URI activation mechanism from File Explorer so that packaged applications, such as settings apps, can run independently even if Explorer crashes, thereby improving the ease of system maintenance.The Focus Assistant icon does not switch modes when clicked
When you click the Focus Assistant icon in the lower-right corner of the taskbar, the mode selection panel that pops up does not respond to clicks, so you cannot switch between the three modes: Off, Priority Only, and Alarm. Right-clicking the icon also fails to bring up the settings menu; you can only make adjustments manually by going to Settings → System → Focus Assistant.The preview pane in Windows 11 File Explorer does not display PDF file content properly
When I select a PDF file in File Explorer and open the preview pane, the preview area appears blank or displays a message stating that the file cannot be previewed, although images and text files preview normally. I have tried repairing and resetting File Explorer settings, but the issue persists.
