    File Explorer stopped refreshing

    For the record, this article worked for me. I started experiencing the no-refresh issue a few weeks ago. No other solutions I found seemed to work, but this worked!

    How to Fix it When the Desktop/File Explorer Won’t Automatically Refresh in Windows 10/8/7 | scootercomputers

    Basically do the following:
    1. Delete all the files inside %AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\automaticdestinations
    2. Delete all the files inside %AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\customdestinations
    3. Restart your PC.

    To quote the article why this seems to happen:

    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?

    Automatic refresh doesn't work in File Explorer, Desktop, Recycle etc.


    Same in the safe mode, no changes...

    I have tried pretty much all those suggestions from various sites, but none of them worked for me.
    What I have seems to be a major issue, they even call it WEDR bug.
    The only thing that slightly changed recently... sometimes, a few times I managed to get automatic refresh for the Desktop, if I for example do the right click and create a new folder, it does create instantly and is visible straight away.... hoewever this never happens in Windows Explorer... I think I once got a file in C: to be processed automatically but thats it... and never had ANY automatic refresh for any of the folders and files on external drives.
