Are you using Windows 11? This has appeared to you without you even knowing it

If you have Windows 11, after the latest system update, you may have noticed a new folder that has suddenly appeared.

After installing the new Windows 11 24H2 update, many users have noticed that an empty folder named "inetpub" has been created on the drive where Windows 11 is installed (usually drive C:).

This folder is empty and does not perform any function, but its appearance may cause confusion among Windows 11 users who for some reason open the drive and notice it by accident.


As the Windows Latest website explains, it seems to be related to IIS (Internet Information Services), which is Microsoft's web server software designed for developers. The "inetpub" file is used to store web pages that the developer can test locally on their computer.

If you're worried at this point, thinking that this update installed a whole bunch of software you don't need on Windows 11 without your consent – ​​there's no need to panic, because nothing was actually installed, it was just an empty folder created by mistake.

In the end, no harm has been done. You can freely delete the file if it bothers you – nothing bad will happen. You can also leave it there – again, there are no consequences. /Telegraph/
