Windows 10: Win10 Explorer doesn't refresh for new files or new folders

I have w10 1809 up to date, stock install, and my explorer window does not refresh when I download a file or unzip something.

How do I correct this?

Win10 Explorer doesn't refresh after creating a new folder

It seems this is a fairly common problem. At least for my ~5 different Windows 10 computers, it happens all the time. It's probably easiest to reproduce this problem by navigating any network share folder on Explorer and then creating a new folder. But it happens also on local folders. In Windows 7 I would use right mouse, New, Folder. Then I would quickly write my desired folder name, enter. Done. However, in Windows 10 what happens is one of the following:

• The new folder doesn't even appear at all. I have to press F5 (refresh) to make it appear. Then if I rename, it still may not change the name and again I have to press F5 to see my new folder name (and if quickly navigating to New folder it of course says it doesn't exist because in reality I already renamed it).
• New folder appears, but renaming causes the refresh problem mentioned above.
• Everything works fine (except speed of updating seems sluggish compared to Windows 7).

What is the reason Windows 10 is so bad at this? Why are they not fixing this problem? This is one of the core functions in an operating system and it has gone so bad compared to fast and nicely working Windows 7. (There are also other similar slow/bad features in Win10 which is the reason I clearly prefer Win7 over Win10 even there are increasingly more compatibility issues for the dying Win7.)

One suggestion found was to uninstall all network adapters in Device Manager. I'm not sure if that fixes is, at least permanently. I'm looking for an answer why the problem occurs in the first place?

 

creating new folder problem in windows 10 creator

Thanks, the step you mentioned

Click on the desktop.

• Press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
• A new folder should be created.
• Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

It's working for me. But my new folder option is not working anywhere not in desktop as well as not in file explorer. Whenever I am placing my cursor on new folder option, its first spinning for few seconds then goes to close the file
explorer and refresh the desktop once.

 

Win10 File Explorer will not allow naming a new folder

Just downloaded Windows 10. In File Explorer I tried to create a new folder, but could not enter a name. The box closed and reverted to New Folder. Tried Rename, but box closed after entering first letter. Also in list of folders, keeps auto scrolling to
top.

No color problems, so do not understand first reply.
