Windows 10: Windows explorer refreshes itself after every 20-30 seconds.

Hi


Every time when I open a folder and scroll down, after every 20 to 30 seconds, the Explorer refreshes itself and goes back to the start of the page.

Also, when I rename a file and have to type something, most of the time the Explorer refreshes while I am typing, and the name of the file resets itself. It happens with all kind of file types, whether renaming document files or folder names. It is very frustrating and I have to work all over again.

I am facing this issue from a long time and even updating the windows to the latest version didn't resolve it. I have updated all the Chip-set and Graphic drivers as well, still facing the same issue.

I have checked multiple times with various antivirus, the system is clean. Currently I am using Windows Defender.


Details of my system

Windows 10 Pro

Version 1803

OS Build 17134.254

64-bit Operating System


Please reply.

Windows Explorer refuses to refresh Explorer


Masterchef,

I have had this problem and so have lots of other people. None of the suggested solutions I found on the internet had anything other than a temporary effect. The problem eventually went away of its own accord but still rears its ugly head from time to time. I only kept a few links on the subject -
Desktop or Explorer does not refresh automatically in Windows
Windows Explorer doesn't refresh by itself - Microsoft Community
windows file list does not auto refresh-update - Microsoft Answers [Windows 7]
Windows Explorer doesn't refresh when moving-deleting - TechNet [Windows 7]

When the problem reappears, I restart the computer. If that does not resolve matters then I accept the situation and don't waste my time chasing non-solutions. You might wish to consider adopting the same approach.

All the best,
Denis

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
