The issue
Have been experiencing a very bizarre issue for the past 3+ months on 3/3 windows 10 computers in our office.
We have a mac mini which is used as a file server. The mac mini works as expected for (new, copy/paste, name change, location change, saving etc.) files for other macs, however the File Explorer on the windows computers are are not refreshing when such a command is issued, to the extent where you have to refresh FileExplorer EVERY SINGLE TIME a command is issued (new, copy/paste, name change, fiel directory change, saving, deleting etc. [you get the idea - infuriating])
Not only does it not refresh when FileExplorer is in an afp directory, it also stops working for all FileExplorer's including those inside a local directory. i.e. 2 windows open, 1 in afp directory, 1 in local, both won't refresh on change. My F5 key has taken an absolute bashing - think of the keyboard!!
Attempts at debugging / resolving
EventViewer returns zero errors, warnings or notifications.
Resetting dekstop icons to default
Unchecking a random option in view settings
When it first started occuring, I assumed it was another windows 10 update gone sour, but evidently this is not the case. Does any please have any insight into how we can resolve this?
Sincerely, potentially balding from stress, frustrated programmer.
