    That's very promising.

    Thanks for the update, @LesFerch!

    However, I am still at Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.5472) and see that build 26100.4351 was released as an out-of-band update on June 11, 2025 as KB5063060 for Win 11 24H2 so I guess it will be a while before I see it. :-/

    Been on Windows since XP (2002); never have I recall this thing happen in XP or Win 7. Never had this happen, not even on Windows 10.

    An update:

    I can't remember that I saw this ugly addressbar issue the last few weeks.

    Could experience it with two systems with identical OS and Experience Pack.

    So for my side, it's looking good at the moment. I will continue to observe it.

    System 1 (Laptop):

    • Edition: Windows 11 Pro
    • Version: 24H2
    • OS build: 26100.4061
    • Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.84.0

    System 2 (PC):

    • Edition: Windows 11 Pro
    • Version: 24H2
    • OS build: 26100.4061
    • Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.84.0
