Windows 10: Automatic Refresh bug still present in Windows 11- Desktop, File Explorer do not refresh...

There is a bug with Windows that has been around for awhile now and that is that the Desktop and File Explorer do not refresh automatically when a mapped network drive is no longer connected. To my disappointment, this bug is still present in Windows 11.When creating a New Folder on the Desktop, no folder icon is shown and therefore it appears as if you're not creating a new folder. However, if you manually refresh the desktop, the icon will appear with the folder name in edit mode. If you do not refresh, you'll inadvertently create a 'New Folder' on the desktop. This is the same with moving o

Automatic refresh doesn't work in File Explorer, Desktop, Recycle etc.


Same in the safe mode, no changes...

I have tried pretty much all those suggestions from various sites, but none of them worked for me.
What I have seems to be a major issue, they even call it WEDR bug.
The only thing that slightly changed recently... sometimes, a few times I managed to get automatic refresh for the Desktop, if I for example do the right click and create a new folder, it does create instantly and is visible straight away.... hoewever this never happens in Windows Explorer... I think I once got a file in C: to be processed automatically but thats it... and never had ANY automatic refresh for any of the folders and files on external drives.

And in safe mode? I don't think you've commented on that yet.

Windows 10 File Explorer: No Automatic Refresh

After a few days, File Explorer stops automatically refreshing. Operations like:

• Adding or renaming a file
• Deleting a file
• Adding a folder
• Moving a file/folder
• etc.

complete successfully, but nothing happens visually until I manually press F5.

Some of you may realize that this question has
been asked several
times before, like this one nine
years ago. I've tried every single resolution step I can find that's been suggested. The problem always returns.

I think it's time someone from Microsoft answers this question properly. Why does a well documented bug like this go this long without a fix? Can you provide a solution that works and hasn't been blindly copied and pasted multiple times?
