Windows 10: File Explorer keeps throwing files to the bottom

Hi guys, I have really annoying problem with File Explorer (This PC) on my work computer running Windows 10. I have organized my files starting with numbers 01_bla.docx, 02_bla.xlsx, 03_bla.dwg, 04_bla.pdf... Problem is, when I edit 02_bla.xlsx and save it in Excel (works the same in every other application), file jumps to the bottom in File Explorer, so list goes like this; 01_bla.docx, 03_bla.dwg, 04_bla.pdf, 02_bla.xlsx. So I need to refresh Explorer every time I save a file. I work with large chunk of files, and this slows me down big time. Any ideas?

:)

 

File Explorer has gone crazy after last nights upgrade.

My only has icons instead of full descriptions. I can not get back to a point where I have tabs that actually say something. Please tell me how to get my view repaired? help... Help.... HELP!!!

 

Details Pane in not visible in File explorer window

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Previously in Windows 7 the details pane was located at the bottom of the file explorer, but in Windows 10 it is at the right side of the file explorer.

Hope this information helps. Keep us posted to help you better.

 

I'm a Windows 7 person, I too have to often refresh my explorer to get the order back. By commenting, I can "watch" this thread for a solution for you and for me.

 

Yep, that's been pretty much a normal situation through several versions of Windows Explorer and now File Explorer. There's some good substitutes out there, some paid and some free. A couple that seem pretty good are Total Commander [paid] and Free Commander [duh, free]. If working a lot with files might give something different a try. And it is not only Windows, have seen the same on a couple of versions of Linux I've looked at.

 

I don't see that happen... tried it thus



and edited the xls with WPS Spreadsheet (same with xlsx)

 

It happens with pdf and dwg files. Xlsx i docx seems like they don't have issues.

 

- there you show the xlsx out of order.

So I tried editing a pdf in this list:



- it stayed exactly there after the edited doct was saved.

(And you can see the date has changed to the 30th)

 

Hm, I was certain that it does with every file, but I traced to only dwg and pdf. It must have something with AutoCad & Adobe Pro

 

I don't have those installed...

 

Thx for replies guys, I will test this further and report back!
