Windows 10: Windows Explorer keeps refreshing in Windows 10

The problem is in Windows Explorer when browsing a folder. Every 5-10 seconds I'm taken back to the top of the list of files.


It makes browsing images to look for a particular one impossible. Renaming a file is also very difficult as I only have a few seconds to complete it.


I have this problem on a laptop that's just a couple of months old. It was fine initially but something a Windows update? has introduced the problem.


Has Microsoft come up with a definitive solution to this problem? I have found hundreds of reports of this problem dating back to 2015 with many, many solutions, most of which don't work.


I don't have a slideshow as background, which some suggest as a cause, or an automatic accent colour as others suggest. It also happens when browsing an external NAS drive so I'm sceptical that the problem is with the SDD, so reformatting it would be a huge inconvenience for no gain.


This is very basic stuff and I'm very, very surprised that Microsoft don't consider it a problem worthy of a fix.

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
