Windows 10: File Explorer Refresh Problem

On the Public Version I have my background changing every minute and it is causing File Explorer to refresh when it changes to the next image.

So if I'm looking down a long list trying to find a specific file I lose my place every time the Background image changes as File Explorer also Refreshes.


Is anyone else having this problem?

Refresh problem in File Explorer

In an earlier thread, I reported that following an update file explorer no longer automatically refreshes after a deletion or change. I tried all the suggestions, but the problem persists.
So I swapped a recently made clone of the hard drive and booted that. The same problem is happening on the clone, which was made before the problem started. The clone was problem free.when tested.a few weeks ago.
Can anyone explain how this can happen.

 

Windows Explorer refuses to refresh Explorer

Masterchef,

I have had this problem and so have lots of other people. None of the suggested solutions I found on the internet had anything other than a temporary effect. The problem eventually went away of its own accord but still rears its ugly head from time to time. I only kept a few links on the subject -
Desktop or Explorer does not refresh automatically in Windows
Windows Explorer doesn't refresh by itself - Microsoft Community
windows file list does not auto refresh-update - Microsoft Answers [Windows 7]
Windows Explorer doesn't refresh when moving-deleting - TechNet [Windows 7]

When the problem reappears, I restart the computer. If that does not resolve matters then I accept the situation and don't waste my time chasing non-solutions. You might wish to consider adopting the same approach.

All the best,
Denis

 

Windows 10 File Explorer: No Automatic Refresh

After a few days, File Explorer stops automatically refreshing. Operations like:

• Adding or renaming a file
• Deleting a file
• Adding a folder
• Moving a file/folder
• etc.

complete successfully, but nothing happens visually until I manually press F5.

Some of you may realize that this question has
been asked several
times before, like this one nine
years ago. I've tried every single resolution step I can find that's been suggested. The problem always returns.

I think it's time someone from Microsoft answers this question properly. Why does a well documented bug like this go this long without a fix? Can you provide a solution that works and hasn't been blindly copied and pasted multiple times?
