Problem creating a subfolder or modifying the contents of a folder
A problem happens to me that I already had and which seemed to have resolved itself more or less at the time.
When I want to modify the contents of a folder (add a new subfolder, modify the name of a file,...) the modification does not appear.
I am forced via the explorer to come out of my folder then enter it again to see that the subfolder is indeed created or that the name of a file has been modified.
This is obviously very painful to use.
When this happened to me a few months ago I saw people who had had the same problem and I tested proposals without success until one morning the problem disappeared.
IT'S reappeared but I no longer know what I was asked to do.
Does anyone on this forum know the issue and can explain it by suggesting a way to resolve it?

Since you mentioned that the issue disappeared spontaneously in the past, it might have been related to a temporary glitch or an update that fixed a bug. If the problem reappears frequently, you might want to monitor recent changes or software installations that could be affecting Explorer.
Corrupted cache can cause display issues.
To reset:
Open File Explorer. Navigate to %localappdata% (Type in the address bar).
Delete the files IconCache.db and thumbcache.db*.
Restart your PC.
