#Microsoft Acknowledges #HighCPU Utilization Bug in #Windows11 File Explorer

The bug affects Windows 11 21H2 and 22H2

Microsoft reports that the high CPU utilization bug will continue to plague the Windows 11 system until the currently logged-in user signs out or until the system is rebooted. Simply locking Windows will not resolve the bug, according to Microsoft.

You would think Microsoft could push a popup ad to the user to tell them to reboot.

Oh. Maybe the bug is that they can't ?

@ne1for23 I wonder if killing all instances of explorer.exe and the relaunching it via Task Manager's File->Run would work.
