How to Fix AWS Console Display of URL Encoded Names (Love%20Rajput)

Select Language:

If you’re noticing that URL-encoded characters like %20 (which stand for spaces) are showing up directly in your AWS Management Console instead of being displayed properly, you’re likely dealing with a display glitch. This isn’t how the console is supposed to behave—it should show clear, readable text at all times.

The console is designed to give you secure, web-based access to your AWS services with a flexible interface for managing your account. Normally, everything, including the account header, should appear neatly formatted.

Here are some straightforward steps to fix this issue:

First, try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Sometimes, stored data can cause display problems, so removing it can refresh how pages load in your browser.

Next, test a different web browser. This helps you figure out if the problem is specific to your current browser or if it happens across different browsers.

If the issue persists, the best step is to contact AWS Support. Since this looks like a bug affecting the way the console displays information, AWS’s support team can investigate further. They can determine if it’s a known issue and give you a timeline for when it might be fixed.

Also, check your account settings to see if the account name was accidentally saved with URL-encoded characters. While most encoding is handled automatically, it’s worth verifying there isn’t an unintended issue on your end.

Remember, if this is a bug in the console, it’s something only AWS can fix on their side. Users don’t have control over how the console renders the information in the header, but submitting a support ticket will help them address the problem.
