Windows 11 Dark Mode: Flashbang Surprise in File Explorer Update!
Microsoft’s KB5070311 update for Windows 11 aims to enhance dark mode but instead leaves users feeling flash-banged by unexpected white screens when using File Explorer. While Microsoft works on a solution, users might want to embrace the light—literally—by switching off dark mode to avoid these blinding surprises.
Hot Take:
Who knew Microsoft’s idea of a “more consistent dark mode experience” was to introduce a spontaneous light show? File Explorer now doubles as a strobe light for those late-night work sessions. Forget the Northern Lights, Windows 11 is where the real action is.

- Bug affects navigation to/from Home or Gallery, new tab creation, and more.
- Microsoft is aware and working on a fix but no timeline is set.
