Fixing the Glitches after upgrading to Windows 11

If your veterinary practice recently upgraded to version 24H2 of Windows 11, you might have stumbled upon an irritating glitch in File Explorer. This tool, which you rely on to access and manage your digital files, is suddenly not behaving as it should.

The Issue: A Frustrating “See More” Menu

Normally, File Explorer is your go-to for smoothly navigating through your files and folders. It’s straightforward and reliable. However, after this latest update, some users are facing issues with the “See more” menu, represented by those three little dots.

Instead of popping up conveniently below your mouse cursor with options like “Select All” or “View Properties,” the menu is playing hide-and-seek. It’s jumping to the top of the screen, often out of view. If you’re working in full-screen mode, some of these vital menu options might be completely out of sight.

This is particularly frustrating when you’re busy managing patient records or accessing critical files needed for your practice.

The Solution: A Simple Workaround

Thankfully, there’s an easy fix to this problem. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Switch to Windowed Mode: Instead of using File Explorer in full-screen mode, switch to windowed mode. This allows the application to share the screen with other programs.
  2. Resize the Window: Click the square icon in the top-right corner of File Explorer, right next to the “X” used to close the window. This will reduce the window size, giving you control over where it appears on your screen.
  3. Access the Menu Easily: Now, even if the “See more” menu acts up, you’ll still be able to see and use it effectively without losing sight of important options.

Reassurance from Microsoft

The great news is that Microsoft is aware of this glitch and is actively working on a permanent fix. While these little tech hiccups can disrupt your workflow, especially in a busy veterinary practice, it’s comforting to know that a solution is on the way.
