Windows 10: Explorer Does Not Immediately Show Updates to Files Deleted Or Pasted

Whenever I am in explorer and delete a file by selecting the delete icon or right click delete. The file still shows in the folder until I press F5 refresh. Then it shows the result of the action.

The same for pasting a copied file. It does not show in the folder any folder - does same regardless of location until I press F5 refresh.


Why is it doing this? This never happened on Windows 3.1, 95 , 98, XP,or 7. It does now happen on windows 10 which appears to be a major bug.

Explorer search results - Does not update (refresh) when delete a file

I saw some older posts related to this from 2016 but nothing with a solution. The problem is:

I search in explorer for files (ie "*.jpg") it will give me a list of results. I delete a file from the list of results (either hitting delete key or right click and delete) and even though it is deleted, it still appears in the list. It will stay in the list until I either refresh the list or re-do the same search.

Other people with the same issue said that the results would refresh on their own after a couple of seconds but mine never will unless I do it manually. This was happening in version 1809 and I updated Windows to the most recent version (1903) and it is still the same issue.

I thought it could be related to the number of results but it doesn't matter if there are 500 or 1, it does not refresh. I am experiencing this behavior on two different computers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
