Windows File Explorer Refresh Issue

gjacobse

File Explorer generally will 'actively' refresh the file list when you copy or create a new file in a directory.

However, I have a computer that you have to use the F5 or Right click Refresh in order to list updates of a new file.

I found one solution to be to default the Windows Themes, but that didn't work:

Right click on desktop 
Click Personalize 
Click Themes
Click Change desktop icons 
Restore default & OK

Has anyone else encountered this refresh issue with File Explorer? If so, how did you correct the issue.

I have this issue with an HDD on WIndows 10 on an old computer. I fixed this with an SSD :)

Nicely done @dbeato

In this case, I may have resolved the issue. I created a new folder in the \server\share\path and Windows File Explorer showed it created fine. But, there was one folder that didn't show.

I renamed it and it appeared in the list, renamed it back, and it was still there. So - Could have been a folder UID issue? or something. But AORN - it's resolved.
