    Pasted files not highlighted correctly/Windows 11


    Hey everyone,I'm wondering if anyone else has/had this issue:Usually whenever I paste new files into a folder containing hundreds of other files, the pasted files will stay highlighted once the copying is completed, allowing me to drag and drop those new files straight into whatever software I'm currently using for work,Now I have a relatively new workstation running on Windows 11 and that feature is gone which is extremely frustrating and also really slows down my workflow.Yes, the workaround's easy whenever the files are new, then I can work by just sorting by the modification date, but when

    File paste - Windows 10 explorer does not highlight the pasted file

    Hi,

    contrarily to older versions, windows 10 explorer does not highlight pasted files. When I copy Paste a file in a specific location, or I drag and drop in a window, the focus remain as is and the new location/window will not change focus/highlight the pasted
    file. so in other words, I can't tell if the file was pasted or not. I am referring to situations where I paste a file in a location/folder that have multiple files

    Deleting files in Win Explorer - lose highlight after each deletion?

    Is there a way to delete a highlighted file in Windows Explorer, and have the next file be highlighted, rather than outlined?

    When reviewing files for deletion, it would be nice if you could step through a directory, file by file, to delete files or not, one by one, using the Preview Pane to review each file.

    As it currently works for me, you can step up and down the file list using the up/down arrows, and each file becomes highlighted, but as soon as one is deleted, the following file becomes outlined, not highlighted, and it takes a click to highlight the file, or a up/down arrow, but that skips the outlined file in the process.

    You can select multiple highlighted files by holding down the Shift key while using the up/down arrows, but that's not quite the intended process.

    Can this be changed to have the next file be highlighted, following deletion of a highlighted file?

    File paste - Windows 10 explorer does not highlight the pasted file

    little correction to the above, Drag and Drop seems to have the desired behavior, means, windows explorer will scroll down and highlight the pasted file in a location/window that has multiple files. While copy/Paste would not allow you to see the pasted
    file, unless you scroll down or you sort by "Date modified"
