Microsoft: Windows 'inetpub' folder created by security fix, donโ€™t delete Microsoft has now confirmed that an April 2025 Windows security update is creating a new empty "inetpub" folder and warned users not to delete it.

@samilaiho.com seems youโ€™re how I know about the blank folder, now apparently thereโ€™s a reason - www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

A reminder that contrary to some, doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results isn't the definition of 'insanity'.

For many people, it's called practice.

And everyone practices differently. I don't deride others who are striving to be better no matter how they do it.
