    Need to hit refresh (F5) when copying/cutting a file to see the actual change


    Hey everyone!

    Three days ago I formatted my PC and installed W10 Pro 20H2 from scratch. Since then I've been having what appears to be a weird bug: if I copy or cut a file or folder from my desktop or a folder to another place it executes the order but I have to hit refresh in both places in order to see the changes. Is this a bug? How could I solve it?

    Thank you!

    Edit for more information and specs:

    Windows version: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 build 19042.804
    PC: Ryzen 5 3600, 1TB NVME WD Black, Nvidia 1050

    How long it takes to refresh desktop(F5)

    Hi,

    There are several factors which may be causing the issue with refresh feature when pressing the F5 key on your computer, this may include a corruption within the user profile or a recent change within your computer settings. In order for us to efficiently
    assist you with your concern, we just have a few questions for you:

    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Were you able to check the task manager if there are many applications running in the background?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

    Regards.

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
