Windows 10: How to manually refresh File Explorer? F5 does not work

How can I manually enforce refresh File Explorer view?

If I press F5 key then from the right side a "Project" pane appears with entries like "PC screen only",
"Duplicate", "Extend", ....)

So whats that?
Is F5 (accidentially) false-assigned? How can re-assign "normal" refresh meaning?

File explorer not refreshing after deleting files in search


Hi you can simply hit F5 after deleting the file to refresh the explorer search results list.

Bu that, of course, is simply a workaround, not a solution.

 

File explorer not refreshing after deleting files in search


Using Windows 10 Home.
This problem only happens if I'm performing a search.
If I search within a folder for say *.* and then delete a file, the list of files does not refresh.
The file remains listed even though it's been deleted.
If I manually refresh then the file disappears from the list. Same thing happens if I undo the delete.
I need to hit F5 to make the file reappear in the search list.

Anyone else having this problem or know a fix? Thanks.

Seems to be a Windows 10 prob. I went back to 8.1 and everything was fine.

Have tried suggestions on Community and none work. Very frustrating.
