"Restore" Missing from Recycle Bin Context Menu

Post by phred »

Using XY 28.30.1600 on Win 10.

Using a toolbar button for the Recycle Bin (On left-click: goto %recycler%). When the list populates, I select a file > right-click and there is no "Restore" in the context menu. I'm fairly certain it existed in a previous 64bit version but I rolled back to 28.30.1000 and didn't see it.

EDIT: Windows Recylce Bin works as expected. "Restore" shows in the context menu once File Explorer opens up the bin.

This is a fairly old problem and is related to the following.

I'm not using Win11, so that KB you referenced is no help. It has nothing to do with Win10.

Has Win10 not received any security updates for the past two months? Also, does the previous version XY work normally? (You must test with a version older than 28.30.0300.)
If the recovery option does not appear even in the older version XY, it is the same problem, and you must wait until the admin resolves it.

Yes it has. And every month since the pseudo EOL. If, and only if, the user has signed up for the extended updates.

I rolled back to 28.20.0600 and the issue is also present. But since all the chatter on the forum with similar issues is with Win11, I'd like to hear from Don on this. I can't find anyone using Win10 who has this issue.

For me (Win 11) it's broken for all versions of XY, 32-bit and 64-bit. It works fine with File Explorer and folks here told us it works with other file managers. So there should be a solution. As I said, it's high on my list and I'll get there soon.

Of course <sigh>

Knowing that I can use File Explorer to restore when necessary, there's no rush on my part to get this resolved. Perhaps the Win11 fix will take care of Win10.

Confirmed as fixed. BUT... the file in the recycle bin still appears until I hit F5 or move away from the recycle tab.

Thanks for the quick fix Don.
