OpenZFS on Windows 2.3.1 rc11 has a bug with annoying messages of a corrupted recycle bin when deleting files.
There is a rc11 v2 edition that fixes this (on updates you may need to run the installer twice)

OpenZFS for Windows 2.3.1 rc13


Still a release candidate/beta but already quite good with in most cases uncritical remaining issues.
Test it and report issues back to have a stable asap.

OpenZFS for Windows 2.3.1 rc13
Releases · openzfsonwindows/openzfs

Issues
openzfsonwindows/openzfs

rc13
  • Use stable paths to disks, log and l2arc
  • Add Registry sample to enable crash dumps for zpool.exe and zfs.exe
  • Change .exe linking to include debug symbols
  • Rewrite getmntany()/getmntent() to be threadsafe (zpool crash)
  • Mount fix, if reparsepoint existed it would fail to remove before mounting
  • Reparsepoints failed to take into account the Alternate Stream name, creating random Zone.Identifiers
Also contains a Proof Of Concept zfs_tray.exe icon utility, to show how it could be implemented, and communicate with elevated service, and link with libzfs. Simple Import, Export, Status is there, although it does not fully import ). The hope is that someone would be tempted to keep working on it. It was written with ChatGPT using vibe coding, so clearly you don't even need to be a developer :)
