By skyforbes I’ve noticed a consistent usability issue with Windows 11 File Explorer tabs:
- When I open multiple tabs (e.g. Tab A = Folder1, Tab B = Folder2, Tab C = Folder3),
- And make changes in one folder (delete/add/rename files) while in another tab…
- When I return to the original tab, the file list is not updated.
The view remains stale until I manually refresh (F5).
Expected Behavior: Switching to a tab should trigger an auto-refresh of the file list.
Actual Behavior: The tab displays an outdated view unless manually refreshed.
Can anyone confirm? Has this been reported to Microsoft?
If not, I’ll submit it via Feedback Hub — but just checking if it's a known issue or if I’m missing a setting.
