  1. [Windows 11] Visual glitch when highlighting a file in File Explorer


    Hello, I've been having this problem for the past few days now. Whenever I select a file in File Explorer, an odd black outline appears even after deselecting it. I already installed the latest updates for windows and Nvidia, changed visual effects in advanced system settings, performed "sfc /scannow" in command prompt, and I resetarted my computer but no success sadly. Normally I would brush it off until it somehow fixes by itself. However, since I would like to record a tutorial, I would prefer not to have these ugly visuals getting in the way because it really bothers me. I tried looking fo

  2. File Explorer Visual Glitch

    Hello,

    Let us isolate your concern by answering the questions below:

    • Have you made any changes to the computer software prior to this?
    • Have you tried to select a different file outside the File Explorer window to check if the issue persists?
    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a clean boot and check if the issue persists. If performing a clean
    boot
    on your device resolves your concern, it means that a third party software is causing the issue. We suggest that you uninstall or disable them. The steps on how to perform a clean
    boot
    are provided on this link.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Deleting files in Win Explorer - lose highlight after each deletion?

    Is there a way to delete a highlighted file in Windows Explorer, and have the next file be highlighted, rather than outlined? When reviewing files for deletion, it would be nice if you could step through a directory, file by file, to delete files or not, one by one, using the Preview Pane to review each file. As it currently works for me, you can step up and down the file list using the up/down arrows, and each file becomes highlighted, but as soon as one is deleted, the following file becomes outlined, not highlighted, and it takes a click to highlight the file, or a up/down arrow, but that skips the outlined file in the process. You can select multiple highlighted files by holding down the Shift key while using the up/down arrows, but that's not quite the intended process. Can this be changed to have the next file be highlighted, following deletion of a highlighted file?

    [Windows 11] Visual glitch when highlighting a file in File Explorer

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
