    Windows Explorer - not 'autorefeshing' file/directory listings


    Windows 10 Pro.


    This just started today on my office workstation. When I'm in Windows Explorer and create a new file say I compress a directory into a compressed file, using "send to...", the file doesn't show up in the directory listing until I hit F5 to refresh. Same if I rename a file. The old name remains until I hit F5.

    :)

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks

    Windows Explorer - not 'autorefeshing' file/directory listings

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS
