In reply to phinn. You need to follow the instructions for 64 bit or 32 bit depending on your system. So far, creating the key in the Windows 10 Registry has fixed my issue.

In reply to hexdude24 .. The problem came back. Turns out that I was using a shortcut to the folder in question to open it. If I navigated there from the shortcut, I had the norefresh problem. If I navigated there from my documents folder, refresh worked. I deleted and recreated the folder's shortcut to correct.

My Win7 ultimate x64 had this problem but only in one folder. These did not fix my particular problem so I
replaced the folder. or: created a temp folder, dragged my bad folder’s contents to the temp, deleted the original, and renamed the temp to replace the original.
