Microsoft confirmed that the June 9, 2026 Windows update (KB5094125) introduced a cosmetic bug causing Recycle Bin permanent-delete confirmation dialogs to show internal system filenames (e.g., $Rxxxxx.ext) rather than original filenames. The issue affects a wide range of Windows 10/11 and Server versions, does not cause data loss or security vulnerabilities, and Microsoft recommends contacting Support for an enterprise workaround while a permanent fix is pending.
