Have any of you seen this error message (looks like this snapshot[^])?
Herself's computer (recently updated to win11) popped up this message on top of the lock screen:
Win11 The Recycle Bin on C:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
I had ran Windows 10 on that same computer for over 3 years and I've never had this problem occur (it's an SSD).
Suddenly, I update the computer to Win11 and now she got this error.
It's quite odd.
It wouldn't allow her to do anything else on the machine until she chose Yes/No but then suddenly the error went away. 
EDIT / Update
Also, I've looked up how to fix it -- thought it seems to have resolved itself.
I'm not asking how to fix it.
Instead, I'm wondering if this is a "feature" of Win11?

I would suspect the drive, frankly. I'm on 11 on two machines, and use the recycle bin regularly. Never had an issue, but my drives are new.

Yeah, that may be it. It's odd though, since we recently upgraded win10 to win11.
I'm old so I don't trust _new_ things.

An upgrade causes a lot of destructive writes. That makes me suss the drive even more.

Googling found the error at least as early as 2018. So before Windows 11 was released.
So the update might be part of the reason probably not the only cause.

Well, that's no fun. I like to blame new things.

I recall a similar message when upgrading to Win 11. Seem to be related to model of SSD drive I had at the time.
I recall having to reformat drive to finally fix the problem.

I've seen this in the far past even on Win7 (IIRC), so it is unlikely to be related to Win11 specifically.
I usually upgrade between major versions by backing up my data, reformatting the drive, and reinstalling any software that I need. This seems to eliminate most of the bugs that are reported after upgrading.

That is very good advice.
However, this is a "consumer device" and Microsoft advises that upgrading is perfectly acceptable so it irks me that this might be the case.

After updating to Windows 11, I encountered an error that prevented any other actions on the machine until selecting Yes/No, but then it suddenly disappeared. I'm wondering if this is a "feature" of Windows 11.

I've run some version of Windows since 1995 and I've never seen this problem

Neither do I (95, 98, XP, 7, 10)
But I have encountered other things though.
