Summary
Microsoft has confirmed a bug introduced by the June 9, 2026 security update (KB5094126) affecting Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server. When users permanently delete a single item from the Recycle Bin, the confirmation dialog incorrectly displays an internal system filename (e.g., $Rxxxxx.ext) instead of the original filename.
