Windows Explorer will not auto-refresh and show a new folder that is created (until Ctrl-R is pressed), nor will it remove a file from view that is deleted (until Ctrl-R is pressed).



How can I get Windows Explorer to begin auto-refreshing again?



I would also notice other programs that opened or created files to hang during creation/opening.

          I attempted the registry key fix:



          Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}Instance (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWow6432NodeCLSID{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}Instance for 64-bit systems) and create a DWORD (for 32-bit systems) or QWORD (64-bit systems) labeled dontrefresh with a value of 0.



          ...and while it may work for some people, it did not work for me.



          I tried the following:





          • In Windows Explorer: choose Tools, Folder Options > Click the Search tab




            Check or uncheck ANY option




          • Apply.


          • If this solves your problem, you can revert to your original setting and the
            problem will remain solved.



          ...and while it may work for some people, it did not work for me.



          I ran dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth&sfc /scannow&pause in an administrator Command Prompt and it found no issues (though it may work for you).



          Solving my issue:



          I found that a Samba file share that I had pinned to Quick Access was causing my issue. When the Samba file share was not present, Windows Explorer would freak out. After deleting the file share from my pinned Quick Access, the problem disappeared.
