Hello,
it seems to be a usability bug in the Windows Insider Preview build 1862 (24H2). I can give some suggestions at this point.
Resize the Window:
- As you've noted, dragging the File Explorer window down temporarily fixes the issue, but this is inconvenient.
- If the menu consistently opens upward, keeping the window positioned away from the top edge of the screen might be the only current workaround.
Check for Updates:
- This issue might already be identified and fixed in a newer build. Ensure you have the latest updates for the Windows Insider Preview:
- Go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
Restart Explorer:
Sometimes, restarting the File Explorer process can resolve temporary UI glitches:
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
- Find and restart the Windows Explorer process.
Use Keyboard Shortcuts:
ıf the menu is inaccessible:
- Press Alt to focus the File Explorer menu.
- Use arrow keys to navigate to the desired option.
