  1. Win 11 Renaming File: Only Showing 1 Character


    When I'm renaming files or folders in Win11, it only shows 1 or 2 charaters every time, so I have to scroll through the name to check whether I name it right. I never seem to have this problem in win10, is there any way to set it back? like display the full name when I am renaming. Thanks.

    :)

    Windows 11 file moving after renaming

    In previous version of Windows, I would rename a file, and click on the next file, to stay in the same position in the list. However, I've found with Windows 11, when I rename a file, and click on the next file, it follows the renamed file to the new position in the list. This is very annoying when renaming a batch of files.

    Win 11 Renaming File: Only Showing 1 Character

    Strange characters when renaming and pressing "Ctrl + Backspace"


    Win 11 Renaming File: Only Showing 1 Character b6849e39-b9bd-4c64-86ef-5576bfb9a285?upload=true.png


    The thing is that when I'm renaming, It just inserts a very nonsense character. Instead of erasing the entire word.

    Can you help me with this?

    The red thing marked in the image are renaming with very nonsense characters.

    "Help me, please. every time that I rename, it just inserts that."

    Thanks!

    To do the problem.

    1. Go to any file or folder, No matter if it's on your desktop or another file (Requires File Explorer)
    2. Do right click on the file, then click "Rename" (or simply press F2 when the file or folder is selected)
    3. Now press "Ctrl + Backspace"
    4. And then I'll appear this symbol. (�)
    Done!
