Windows Explorer Does Not Refresh Automatically
In case you are creating a folder/file on one computer using Windows Explorer (Microsoft Mini-redirector driver) or IT Hit Ajax File Browser and expect the files list to refresh automatically on another computer this would not work. Mini-redirector does not support any notifications from server and WebDAV does not submit any notifications, you. Ever since upgrading to 1709, I've noticed that Windows Explorer is refusing to automatically refresh files and folders when a change is made. For example, if I download a file and then delete that file, Explorer prompts if I want to delete the file. I press yes and yet the Explorer window still shows the file.
So I tried both of your suggestions but it's still not working. Reset Folders: Registry Edits: The key you posted does not exist on my system. I added it myself per the advice of this article here: Also based on the article the key you posted is for 32-bit systems whereas 64-bit systems is stored under HKCRWow6432NodeCLSID.
Not that it matters since neither one works. In case you're wondering I made sure to reboot my system before taking the video after I made those changes. No dice.–Oct 13 '17 at 16:26.
Haven't tried this solution for your specific problem, but I'd consider it worth trying if I came up against your set of symptoms:Save the following as a.bat file: ie4uinit.exe -showtaskkill /F /IM explorer.execd /d%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsExplorerattrib -h iconcache.dbDEL /A /Q '%localappdata%IconCache.db'DEL /A /F /Q '%localappdata%MicrosoftWindowsExplorericoncache.' start explorerSave and close all files and programs, then run (it doesn't require admin).When it completes restart your computer.This script is for resetting desktop icon issues in Windows 10. Any shortcuts on your desktop should return to a default position to the upper-left of the primary screen. It took me forever to find out the fix to this issue. I was tempted to just reset my whole PC. The only thing stopping me was a slow connection. Thank you Joan for which give me an idea of how to fix it.
Here's how I finally got it.After I went into my Windows settings Personalization Themes and went to click 'Desktop icon settings' I got a message saying something like 'You do not have the permission to access this file', and the file name ('rundll32.exe') was listed in the top bar.So I went to C:WindowsSystem32, found the file 'rundll32.exe' and followed this procedure:. Right click it and select 'Properties'.

Next, click the 'Security' tab and click 'Advanced'. From here click 'Change' beside the 'Owner' line of text. Change this to your user name. After that click 'Apply', accept everything, and push 'OK' to close all the security and properties tabs. Next, right click 'rundll32.exe' and select 'Properties' again, click 'Security' then 'Advanced'. Now we will select 'Enable inheritance'.
Click 'Apply', then accept everything and click 'OK' until you're out of the security and properties tabs, then close the Explorer window as well. Now restart your PC.Upon restart your auto-update should be working again!

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 -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.
