Windows 11 update reportedly creates a mysterious folder on your system drive, which is certainly confusing – but ultimately harmless

The latest April update for Windows 11 24H2 reportedly creates an empty 'inetpub' folder on the system drive upon installation.
The folder is harmless and does not contain any software installation; it is related to IIS (Internet Information Services) for web server development purposes.
Users may notice the mysterious 'inetpub' folder on their C: drive, causing confusion, but it can be safely deleted as it does not serve any function.
The bug appears to be a result of Microsoft making tweaks to IIS components, inadvertently triggering the creation of the folder on PCs that do not use the software.
While the bug is relatively benign, it may lead users to unnecessarily worry about a potential virus infection due to the folder's sudden appearance.
Reports indicate that the issue is widespread among Windows 11 users, with many expressing annoyance or confusion over the 'inetpub' folder.
Deleting the folder is deemed safe, but there is a possibility it may reappear in the future, as historical instances suggest a recurring presence of the 'inetpub' folder on system drives.
Microsoft is urged to address this bug promptly to prevent further confusion and ensure a permanent solution for the random creation of the 'inetpub' folder.
Windows 11 users are advised to remain vigilant about such anomalies and exercise caution when deleting the 'inetpub' folder to avoid potential future reoccurrence.
The bug highlights yet another in a series of peculiar issues with Windows 11, underscoring the need for Microsoft to enhance software quality and address bugs promptly.
Further fixes and changes for Windows 11 are anticipated, aiming to improve user experience and resolve longstanding bugs within the operating system.
