In Windows Latest there are also indications that several affected users are reporting problems with Windows Explorer. Explorer may not respond when users try to access folders such as the desktop, documents or images.
Windows Latest also states that the program window does not open when Explorer is called up via the desktop shortcut or the Windows search is used. However, Explorer has not crashed, but continues to run as the explorer.exe process. Windows Latest claims to have received more than 30 reports with complaints about a rather bizarre behavior of Explorer after the installation of Windows 11 KB5051987. A German blog reader also reported issues in file explorer on several HP AIO PCs.
