    My file won't sort/arrange automatically, need to F5/Refresh to move


    I just installed Windows 10 Pro (clean install).

    I sort all files by name,
    Yesterday, I found out that my file explorer or folders (on the main disk & other disk), whenever I save new edited photos, photos from Internet, the windows file explorer won't re-arrange or sorting automatically, or don't move automatically the file from bottom to top & other way around.

    I have to refresh the explorer manually everytime, it's very annoying, I need my explorer to arrange/sort/move automatically.

    My registry doesn't have "DontRefresh", I added it by manually in (HKCR\[Wow6432Node\]CLSID\{BDEADE7F-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}\Instance/DontRefresh with binary value 0) and it still won't fix the problem.
    Sfc scannow found some corrupt files, but it didn't fix my problem here.
    Reset folder in files and folder option doesn't work.

    This topic of link is the problem I face now, New files are not sorted automatically by Windows Explorer - Super User
    How can I fix this problem?

    Hi, the ideas and links here may help:
    Automatic refresh doesn't work in File Explorer, Desktop, Recycle etc. - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums

    - a couple of people solved this sort of issue.

    Thank you. I found out that when open the Picture folder(example) directly in my D: drive, it will automatically refresh/sort/arrange for me, only in Library. It won't auto do the things for me if from Quick access tab & This PC and its subfolders.

    Hi, I'm afraid I can't try to reproduce this for you as
    a. I haven't relocated folders to another drive (nor would I wish to, although I do keep my personal data off C: as far as I can)
    b. I'm also using build 1709 not 1803.

    How did you relocate your Pictures folder?

    Every files/folder can sort it automatically when in Library tab (Document, Music, Picture, Video). But, when I try to do the same thing on the C: and other drive, it won't sort automatically for me.

    My file won't sort/arrange automatically, need to F5/Refresh to move-1.png

    My file won't sort/arrange automatically, need to F5/Refresh to move-3.png
    Done on drives, no auto sort

    My file won't sort/arrange automatically, need to F5/Refresh to move-2.png
    Sort auto to top in Library only (no need to refresh manually)
