Also known to affect Windows 10. And on Windows 7 Ultimate PC with R2 extended updates. Question is why if it is empty? For future implementation and use?

That is the same name as the old Microsoft IIS web server’s location.

Microsoft is making our computers become web servers?

Microsoft probably has its own superuser type access that allows visibility of whatever files are in there. Probably pictures of you naked.

Microslop has gotten sloppier every day now that it has become an Indian company. They constantly break their own products.

Try dragging a file to a taskbar app, doesn’t work any more.

Many, many things throughout their product suits are breaking.

In my Win10 Home, says it was created 11/08/20, has 2 sub-folders History and Temp, try opening the History folder, get an error, requires Admin privilege I guess.

Were there any versions of Windows that wasn’t hacked?

If you’ve ever created web pages, the C:\Inetpub folder is where the website project gets published (it defaults to this locally unless you manually change it).

It possible that in the future, Microsoft will push some internet content to this folder. They should at the very least, explain the reason for creating this folder when Internet Information Server is not installed.

Update: Microsoft says here that the folder is created intentionally and that it should not be deleted. Reason: "This behavior is part of changes that increase protection and does not require any action from IT admins and end users".

INCREASES PROTECTION???? I call BULLSHIT.

Inetpub is the directory that IIS often uses as a home for hosting internet websites.

It's clear MS intends every one of us to be something they can ping (or access?)

Could be that some programs have no-longer-needed references to it - cheaper to maintain the dummy folder than fix all the code that contains references to it.

On Sat, my Win11 downloaded and I installed Version 24H2.

It now consumes 25% more memory and wrecked havoc on many of my settings & defaults.

The latter I can resolve...

...but the new massive memory leak is more than frustrating even after opening Task Manager to see the culprits. Alas, MS seems to be hiding the new programs that is hogging the memory.

Any feedback on this new memory hog update will be appreciated...
