Windows 10: Is there a documented issue of folders not refreshing properly?

In the last six months ago or so something as simple as removing one file from the downloads folder hasn't been updated, the file is still shown until reloading (F5 or closing and opening again).

Folder refresh issues

I have been having this issue for quite a long time now, so any suggestions welcome.


Actions that I perform in folders are not visible until I refresh the folder.

Let's say I am downloading a file, I click "new folder", nothing happens, I then have to hit F5 to refresh the current folder to see the one I just created.
I then have to refresh manually to see the file I just downloaded.

Same issue with thumbnails, I have to continuously refresh in order to get them to display, they seem to be getting re-generated every time as they display very slowly.

I was also having an issue with thumbnails simply not showing, but I recen

I have already done the following.
performed a chkdsk to fix any errors
done sfc/scannow
done DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

Folder Freeze when trying to click on a Word Document. HELP

Hi there,

I came across a very weird bug/issue.

Use Case

Step 1: Create a word document on Desktop and name it TestFreeze

Step 2: Test that you can open the word document and write something like 'Testing freeze folder' ->save it

Step 3: Create a folder on Desktop and name it FreezeMe

Step 4: Copy 'TestFreeze' document in the 'FreezeMe' folder

Step 5: Open the 'FreezeMe' folder and select/click 'TestFreeze' document

Result: Folder Not Responding

Additional Information

I have run some tests and it does not matter:

• if it is a new or old Microsoft word file
• if the document has content in it or not
• if it has a long/short name or special characters
• it does not matter the folder or the name of the folder in which you put the file in

I also tried with an excel file and seems that I do not experience the same issue.

Microsoft version: 16.0.9330.2073

Windows version: 10.0.17134 Build 17134 with all updates up to date

If there is anything else I can provide to help sort this out, please do let me know.

Opened to any suggestions on how to fix this, as it is very frustrating.

Thanks
