Folder windows do not update when open

I have a new computer with Windows 8.1. When I have a folder open and try to either create a new sub-folder, or move files into it, the new items are not visible until I close the window and re-open it.

Suggestion:  Use Explorer windows ONLY on real hard drive folders, not abstractions such as Libraries.
It's much more likely to update properly on hard drive folders.
Also, there's a setting that you can change that often seems to help:

  • Window does not update when I add a tab or switch to another tab

    when I add a new tab, the new tab appears but the screen doesn't change. The content under all the tabs is the same.
    If I type in a url, my current page updates and when I choses another tab, the screen doesn't change. All tabs have the same content.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Folder views are not updated when you arrange by categories in Outlook

    According to KB2925273, the work around doesn't really work for us, when can we expect a proper fix for this bug?

    Hi,
    If the workaround does not work for you, I think the symptom you encounter may not fully match the one described on the KB article. I have some questions:.
    1. When did the issue firstly happened, just after applying the RU?
    2. What’s the user impact, all the users or some specific users?
    3. Have you tried resetting the folder views to the default settings on the Outlook side and does it help?
    Thanks,

  • System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

    After installing Lion 10.7, I find that whenever I try to change the desktop wallpaper in system preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
    I tried to find the systempreferences.plist, as seen from google searches, but I can't find it anywhere, and those seem to be solutions for SL, L or Tiger.
    Help appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I've been having the same issue with system preferences in osx lion freezing and not doing anything for the past week.  Your post solved the problem; all I had to do was move the iphoto library and the photo booth library to the desktop, then I moved them back to my pictures folder in the finder window.  Now system preferences works like a charm, even if I restart the system the system preferences utilities are all accessible.
    This solved the problem; whereas other posts that had me use disk utility to repair the hard drive or repair the disk permissions didn't solve the issue.
    This now saves me a call to apple tech support
    Thank you.

    Jul 23, 2011 1:27 PM (in response to alexhung)
    It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.

  • Finder windows do not update their content for ARD

    Server (to which I am connected): MacMini (Late 2012) 10.8.3,
    Computers (with whom I am connected): MBP 2008 10.8.3, iMac 2011 10.8.3.
    After connecting I open any Finder window and try to select files with the mouse (or Command-A). The window is not updated. If you move the window on the desktop, it is updated. All these actions are performed without the monitor connected to the server.
    If you connect an external monitor, so no problem. When connected to the monitor to send the image looks much smoother.
    This problem does not occur if the map files in the list view. The problem is present, if the map as icons.
    Tried to restart the server - did not help.
    Tried to install Combo update 10.8.3 - did not help.
    The problem occurred suddenly, it seems after I added the video in iTunes. (That is up to the challenge I did not install any software or not an administrator password).
    How to fix it?
    Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtG1t6q9eFI
    Also there is a server MacMini 2010 (10.6.8) - there are no such problems.

    Found an interesting solution, I have not tried it myself yet, I'm waiting resistors

  • Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

    Hi,
    Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
    Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
    Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
    Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
    The Action History in the following manner
    Seq Action Performed By
    ================================
    4 Approve C
    3 Forward B
    2 Reserved B
    1 Forward A
    0 Submit A
    From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
    Regards,
    Keivn.
    Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

    When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
    If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have format the system drive and perform a clean install, not just override or upgrade from the previous system.
    The bootloaders for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are quite similar,  you could have a look at this article and see if it's helpful to you:

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Folder Redirection did not update to the new server

    hello  guys, I had migrated quite some time ago to a new server.
    I thought everything works fine, basically the server functionality DNS, Replication and other stuff works fine.
    But I notice that some of the workstation did not actually update its folder redirection to the new server.
    Their desktop and my documents still points to the old server.
    So their offline files, is becoming larger and larger.
    I have some workaround but it's a lot of work. Question is, why those Win 7 workstation folder redirection did not update to the new server.
    What should be the best practice? During the migration process from the old server to the new server, all workstation should be turned on? 
    Or any tools to update  those workstation to the new server without losing their files?
    Basically, just editing the registry to point to the new server will help. But it means losing their current files and whatever old stuff that is on the server will be the one that will be shown on their desktop and documents.
    any inputs is greatly appreciated.

    Hi biswajeetpattnaik, before migration it was Windows 2003.
    Then I introduce Windows 2008.
    Then I introduce a new Windows 2012.
    Now Windows 2012 is the main DC.
    Actually, everything is under control right now.  As what I said on my first post, I manage to do some work around.
    The only question I have on mind, is how on earth this thing happen.
    I was assuming, that the workstation will be able to point to the new server, without any glitch since everything is working fine.
    And the GPO was applying on the workstation. If I type gpresult /v on the workstation is it being applied. Even if I run GP Modelling it is also shows on the result that the folder redirection is being applied.
    But to my surprise the folder redirection still points to old server, if I have not discovered it then it would be difficult if some files will get lost.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign.

  • HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad.  Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting I need to check?

    Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting that I need to check?

    All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
    Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
    Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
    Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?
