Windows 10: Will Quick Access bug in File Explorer (causing no refresh) ever be fixed?

For some time I've experienced an annoying bug in File explorer. Whenever you drag and drop a file, delete a file, create a file, delete many files, there isn't a refresh happening and you need to press manually F5 to see changes.. Once I disabled these two Quick Acess options in options and Cleared history, this bug disappeared:

I have also seen this bug appears on Windows 11 and isn't fixed

This kind of stuff isn't convincing me to switch to W11 (W10 redesign) anytime soon... Even third party file explorers have made a better progress than Microsoft in the past 15 years.

Quick Access Crashes Explorer

Hi Bill,

Quick Access is a new feature in Windows 10 File Explorer navigation pane which helps users quickly navigate to locations which are frequently used. However, if you're having issues with Quick Access, you can try to disable and enable it. To disable Quick
Access, follow these steps:

• Type File Explorer Option in the search box.
• Click on File Explorer Options.
• Under General tab, choose This PC in the Open File Explorer to: drop down menu.
  
• Uncheck Show recently used files in Quick access and
  Show frequently use folders in Quick access.
• Click Apply an OK.
• Restart the computer and re-enable Quick access.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.

 

Explorer not automatically refreshing if there are folders in quick access

I like to use quick access for projects I'm actively working on. The project folders are located on another computer on our hardwired office network accessed via a mapped network drive. If I have anything pinned to the quick access list (I turn off the
recent files option), within a day, Windows Explorer stops automatically refreshing. There only needs to be one folder pinned. Moved files, copies, etc. don't show up correctly until I manually refresh. I know this norefresh issue is known and common, but
I'm not finding it linked to quick access. Tried all the other fixes out there, which didn't work, and finally stumbled across this quick access link. As soon as I remove all the folders from the quick access list, auto refresh starts working again. I only
use quick access for network folders, not sure if it happens with local folders, I'm testing that today. Other windows 10 computers in my office have folders from this location pinned to their quick access with no issues.

I really want to use quick access, but the auto refresh thing is a deal breaker. Anybody have a fix or workaround? Btw, I have added the norefresh line to my registry, didn't fix it.

 

File Explorer/Quick Access

I recently started having a problem with File Explorer and Quick Access. When I start my computer, all works fine but then gradually the files as listed in File Explorer and Quick Access start to disappear and soon there are none present. I need to
restart and again they are there but also again they start to disappear. Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestion to correct? Thanks/
