New Windows 11 24H2 glitch sends File Explorer menu to the top of the screen – here’s how to get it back

I understand that this isn’t a major issue for Windows 11, but this kind of baffling (and annoying) error is now considered pretty common for 24H2 and Windows 11 in general. Most people will probably get used to this state, but it also creates an opportunity for users to be lured away by the promise of an intuitive, functional OS that doesn’t malfunction as often.

While Windows 10 now enjoys the biggest user base out of
