Memory leak issues

Windows 11 memory leak problems occur when switching between different edit clients. The new update now addresses a memory leak in ctfmon.exe.

File explorer issues

• Apps had an issue providing shortcut menu items in File Explorer and desktop context menus. This happened when apps were using the Directory or  Directory\Background registration but this issue has since been addressed.
• The shortcut menus for File Explorer and desktop had display issues and occurs when choosing a single click to open. This has now been fixed.
• There was an issue with File Explorer that caused it o stop working once it was closed. This issue has now been addressed.
• There was an issue with renaming a file after mounting NFS share. The issue often occurs when using File Explorer. However, the issue does not occur when renaming using the command line but has now been fixed.

Hard disk performance issues

Microsoft has addressed a performance issue involving all storage devices (including NVMe and SSD drives) on Windows 11. The issue is triggered when performing write operations on any drive set up to use the NTFS file system’s USN journaling attribute, but only when the drive being written to is the Windows C: partition.
