Microsoft warns that anyone who deleted mysterious folder that appeared after latest Windows 11 update must take action to put it back


Mystery folder is actually tied to a security fix – so if you thought it did nothing and deleted it, think again

In case you missed it, last week Windows 11 24H2 received its cumulative update for April 2025, and it created an ‘inetpub’ folder that was the source of some bewilderment or annoyance for those who noticed it. What’s particularly strange about this affair is that there are reports in the past of this same folder being created, so maybe this was part of the implementation of security patches in these cases too – who knows. Scroll down the alphabetical list of features and find ‘ Internet Information Services ’ and tick the box next to this, then click on the OK button.
