Microsoft addressed a Windows 11 File Explorer white-flash issue introduced by KB5070311, with the December KB5072033 update fixing the problem, resolving VM network connectivity losses after NIC-binding issues on host restarts, and adding a PowerShell warning when scripts use Invoke-WebRequest to reduce harmful code execution risk. The report also notes a previously confirmed crash affecting Windows 11 24H2/25H2 during provisioning and ongoing testing of a feature to preload File Explorer for faster launches.
