Microsoft's June 9, 2026 security update (KB5094125/KB5094126) introduced a bug that causes the Recycle Bin permanent-deletion confirmation dialog to show internal file identifiers (for example, "$Rxxxxx.ext") rather than original filenames. The issue is cosmetic—files in the Recycle Bin and restored files retain their original names—and affects multiple supported Windows client and server releases; Microsoft is developing a resolution and offers a workaround through business support channels.
