Windows 10: File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes

Discus and support File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes in Windows 10 Customization to solve the problem; I have a slideshow of my iCloud photos as my desktop background on all five of my Windows PCs. I also have the "Pick accent color from background"... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Customization' started by Jimmy Loukidis, May 15, 2020.

  1. File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes


    I have a slideshow of my iCloud photos as my desktop background on all five of my Windows PCs. I also have the "Pick accent color from background" enabled, which from what I have read might be the cause of it. Once the accent color changes with the slideshow File Explorer jumps to the top of the folder I was viewing, and since my background changes every minute, it's a huge pain in the ****. Is there any way to fix this WITHOUT disabling that feature?

    Things I have tried: Different folder where pictures are stored, different computers happens on all of my computers, and restarting the computer.

    Any way to fix this?, because i'm really close to Hackintoshing my Windows PCs, or just going back to the good ol' days of Windows XP and Napster I wish

    :)

  2. Slideshow theme causes File Explorer to scroll to top whenever image changes...

    Since upgrading to Windows 10 on my PC, using a Slideshow theme as the Desktop background causes File Explorer to scroll to the top every time the image on the slideshow changes. This is rather frustrating if you have more than a screenful of data or photos,
    etc. to scroll through.

    Using any of my non-slideshow themes causes no problems.

    If I use a custom color - IOW the color does not change with the Slideshow but remains constant - File Manager behaves properly.

    Any suggestions? I enjoy my slideshow and it is a pain (location of pain left up to reader) to have to disable it/set a custom color for File Manager to not bounce about...

    File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes

    Everytime background changes, explorer will automatically refresh


    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but i have some problems with windows 10 since upgrade (I've had this problem since earlier build).
    Everytime background changes, explorer will automatically refresh (or so i think)
    For example, my i'm initially at the bottom of a folder like this
    File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes [​IMG]

    notice the scroll bar is at the very bottom.

    After my background changes, it will be dragged all the way back to the top like this
    File Explorer automatically scrolls to the top of the page when desktop background changes [​IMG]

    It's really annoying everytime i navigate through folders with a lot of items.
    Is there anyway to fix this other than stopping the slideshow all together?
    Thanks in advance.
