    Explorer doesn't refresh when creating folders or files, why?


    I have a user who is having issues with his explorer on Windows 10 latest build. When creating folders or files, the explorer isn't refreshing and has to manually refresh to see changes made to the folder. I've tried numerous solutions and I was just wondering if someone has tried something I haven't. The issue temporarily goes away after restarting the Explorer.exe and returns after using the PC for some time. I'd hate to have to refresh the system, but I've spent too much time already trying to resolve it. I thought I'd post a question here before I do. Things I've tried:The most com

    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.

    creating new folder problem in windows 10 creator

    Thanks, the step you mentioned

    Click on the desktop.
    • Press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
    • A new folder should be created.
    • Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

    It's working for me. But my new folder option is not working anywhere not in desktop as well as not in file explorer. Whenever I am placing my cursor on new folder option, its first spinning for few seconds then goes to close the file
    explorer and refresh the desktop once.
