April 2025 Windows 11 Update Unexpectedly Creates 'inetpub' Folder

Microsoft

The April 2025 update for Windows 11, released during Patch Tuesday, unexpectedly creates an empty "inetpub" folder at the root of the C:\ drive on systems, even those without Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. This anomaly was observed after the application of monthly security updates. No functional impact has been reported, but the presence of the folder has raised questions among users.
