    Explorer keeps refreshing while renaming files on network drive - Windows 10


    Since updating to Window 10 yes, it's now been a while, trying to rename a shortcut that resides in any folder on one of my network drives is nearly impossible. My recollection was that it didn't start happening right away on that new PC, but maybe it occurred after a Windows update. I hadn't posted about it in the past as I thought I had caused it by doing some regedit etc, and hoped that I would eventually fix it on my own. In any case, I just purchased a new i9 Win 10 desktop and one of the first things I set up was access to my NAS drives - and the problem is occurring on this machine as

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    Errors on creating, renaming, deleting folders in explorer

    Thanks for that will get on it.

    In meantime, the folder name, rename, delete issues and related error messages in part is just because windows explorer has suddenly started requiring a refresh for each step to show the new folder for renaming, then again after it has been renamed etc. So I have to keep hitting F5 for every step in the process including the moving of files from one folder to another. Is there a solution to that? That would be part of the probelm solved and I can then see if there are any remaining problems.

    Thanks

    Tha bit has been solved by a restart of explorer. I will watch for any remaining issues and folow dalchina's advice should they still be present.
