Windows 10: Windows 10’s File Explorer is still buggy after latest update

Microsoft says Windows 10 cumulative update KB4532695, which is available as an optional update for consumer and enterprises, fixes multiple bugs in File Explorer. According to the changelog, Windows 10’s optional update fixes a bug that broke File Explorer search bar and disabled right-click in the search bar.

Windows 10 File Explorer issues were first discovered in November 2019 Update shortly after its public rollout. In December, users reported that the search bar can freeze for long periods of time. Many Windows 10 owners also confirmed that File Explorer’s new search experience prevents users from right-clicking in the search bar.

While Microsoft has resolved the above two issues affecting File Explorer and Control Panel, the new search experience is still buggy. For example, you have to click twice to reset the caret position and input your search query.



Although Microsoft says it has enabled right-click support, search box continues to be a facade and it can’t be right-clicked until you left-click the bar to activate it. The new Search bar has another bug where advanced Query Syntax keywords, operators, and filters are no longer highlighted in blue colour.

File Explorer’s unified search experience is still a mess and it looks like things won’t get better until Windows 10’s 20H1 update is out.

Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the new problems with Explorer and there don’t appear to be any workarounds. If you have installed Windows 10 November 2019 Update, you have to accept the possibility of experiencing issues with File Explorer and Control Panel.

Windows 10’s November 2019 Update is being rolled out to more users via Windows Update, but it won’t be installed automatically unless you’re on October 2018 Update. You can always delay the November 2019 Update if you’re not ready for a buggy File Explorer experience.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Buggy Windows 10 Home Network File Explorer

First my network configuration:

- Windows 10 Home on a Dell Inspiron 13-5368 laptop

- CentOS 6.8 on a Dell Vostro 1000 laptop

- The Vostro is the Samba/Linux server

- The 13-5368 is the Samba/Windows client

- The Vostro is the network's computer browse master

- The Computer Browser service on the 13-5368 is disabled to avoid conflicts

Working:

- sharing

- printing

- computer names are list in the network file explorers (both PCs)

Problem scenario:

- shutdown the 13-5368

- the computer's name is removed from the browse list as seen from the Vostro (Samba Server)

- restart the 13-5368

- open the network file explorer on Windows 10

- only the Vostro PC computer name is listed

- enter the Windows 10 \\computer_name, it is found, displayed and the share is accessible

- close the network file explorer on Windows 10

- recheck after an hour, no Windows 10 computer name is displayed

- close the network file explorer on Windows 10

- logout of Windows 10

- sign into Windows 10

- open the network file explorer on Windows 10

*** now all computer names are displayed ***

Appears to be a buggy Windows 10 Home Network File Explorer. This happens when I used either WSD or NetBIOS

for network discovery. Only the logout/sign-in refreshes the list of computer names. My Windows 7 Pro laptop

in the network does not have the problem after a shutdown and restart.
