    Odd windows explorer refresh issue


    I wasn't sure which area to post this.

    I've been seeing a rather annoying issue where I'll have a windows explorer window open on one of two monitors and I'll have highlighted file 2200 out of 6000 and on the other screen I'll be actively typing in info into a spreadsheet or browsing the web or reading emails and then my windows explorer jumps back to the top of the list. I believe I have tracked it down to my slideshow timer. Every time the background changes on either screen, the refresh happens on the windows explorer window. I did not see the issue on Win7 which I previously ran with similar theme setups.

    Is anyone else seeing this issue? Is there a solution?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 File Explorer not responsive on Task Bar.

    Hello community.

    I still need a resolution to the above File Explorer issue. Any new thoughts?

    If it helps, I've also noticed another odd thing. I saved and zipped a document to my Desktop. If I right click that zipped folder on my Desktop, the screen does a refresh and I never get the selection menu.

    Thanks everyone.

    It has to do with the setting -> colors where in win10 every time the background changes it picks a color from the new background and causes whatever work thing you are doing to refresh. To solve this got to setting -> personalization -> colors turn off automatic pick an accent color and change the menu color to a single selected color and it will stop the automatic refresh when the background image changes. It worked for me.
