Microsoft has confirmed that it's still working to fully address a known issue that causes bright white flashes when opening the File Explorer on some Windows 11 systems.

Microsoft’s Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7961 for 25H2 fixes File Explorer flashes, adds voice typing for renaming, and restores Administrator Protection.

A user-made Windows 12 concept shows a futuristic File Explorer that users have been waiting for.

Annoying white flashes are still hanging around in Windows 11 for some users, but hopefully not for much longer.
