Microsoft's Windows 11 update, KB5070311, enhances dark mode but introduces a display issue. The update adds dark dialogs in File Explorer for actions such as copying and moving files.
New Features and Issues
The update introduces enhancements meant to improve user experience in dark mode by darkening dialogs within File Explorer. However, users report a brief white flash when opening File Explorer in dark mode post-update. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue and is working on a patch.
User Experience and Workarounds
The white flash occurs due to a known issue in the update and can be distracting, particularly in low-light environments. Some users have opted for temporary workarounds to revert the dark mode until Microsoft provides a solution. Microsoft's effort for a consistent dark mode remains crucial to its Windows 11 UI enhancements.
