Windows 10 Explorer windows reopening?

Sat Oct 03, 2015 3:21 am

Has anyone else seen this? Open File Explorer in Windows 10 and do something. I find the most consistent way to cause this is to extract a recursive archive with 7-zip, but moving stuff around causes it a lot too.

Does the "File Explorer" window close itself and immediately reopen, instead of just refreshing?

What the hell is that about? SO annoying! (--〆)

I have an old, inexpensive laptop I updated to Windows 10 a week or two ago, and I noticed similar behaviour.

Open the classic Control Panel, and often have it open "twice". Sometimes happens with the metro Settings windows as well. I don't understand it.

Eh, not noticed this specific bug, but Windows 10 is buggy, just like every version in the 6 months to year or so following release.

Same as Mac OS X before its 10.x.2's, and RHEL before x.2 or so. Kinda best to leave well alone where possible :P

They rushed to release a new operating system, with bugs, instead of to work a little more on it to don't have plenty bugs like it have now. Of course it's imposible to don't have any bugs, but again..

Windows rule #1. Wait until SP1.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

Kind of hard to tell what actually qualifies as SP1 any more, with their new product naming/numbering scheme.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Yah, I doubt there will ever be an SP1 for Windows 10. I'm actually considering moving to the Enterprise LTSB release because it lacks Cortana and the app store, among a few other things, I'm just not sure if it has DirectX 12 and other goodies I'll want.

Happens pretty frequently to me as well, both on my workstation (clean install, Enterprise build) and my home PC (upgrade from Win7, Pro build). I've noticed the taskbar doing the same from time to time.

Not going to be an SP, Microsoft now does not like them -- there will just be "feature releases" which are the same thing as SP's with the added joy that OEMs can choose to block them to obsolete a PC model that they want to kill support for*.

* Obviously if they do that, they'll make many users go vent on the interwebs -- but many more would just buy a new device so if the OEM's all do this they all win ...
