Windows 11 KB5072033 Update Fixes File Explorer Flashing and Ask Copilot Bugs

Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5072033 as part of this month’s Patch Tuesday rollout, and the update brings two standout fixes: a smoother File Explorer experience and a more reliable Copilot interaction.

KB5072033 Fixes File Explorer and Copilot

File Explorer no longer flashes when navigating

Many users reported a distracting white flash in File Explorer when switching between pages. KB5072033 removes that issue, giving File Explorer a cleaner and more stable feel during everyday navigation.

Copilot’s “Click to Do” window now appears correctly

Another key fix targets Ask Copilot. Previously, the assistant failed to activate the Click to Do window or displayed it behind other apps. With this update, the window now opens properly in the foreground every time, improving usability for anyone relying on Copilot for quick actions.

KB5072033 doesn’t introduce major features, but it improves two daily-use components that affect almost every Windows 11 user. If you rely on Copilot or navigate File Explorer frequently, this update offers a smoother overall experience.
