      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.
