Folders not automatically refreshing after KB5032190 update


And to make things a little more annoying, in the new W11 Explorer a right click no longer shows Refrssh right there. You have to choose Show More Options and then Refresh appears. So not only the funky bug, and extra 3 clicks to resolve.

    …still on a horse.
For me, this has been occuring on Windows 10 for years (some people say, even since Win XP) and there has never been a clear repair method to solve it. I initially thought that maybe because my main disk was SSD and the other disk was HDD and it's slower to sync changes between drives, but I even bought another SSD to replace HDD without any improvement, and this issue still persists till this day.

Here is a gif video of how it is happening for me:
Windows 10 File Explorer Bug.gif

There are people on Reddit with this same issue:

Why does the file explorer need to be manually refreshed every time you change something?​

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/st8agg/why_does_the_file_explorer_need_to_be_manually

Folder and file icons not updating, have to F5 to refresh.​

And many more...
