This might not work immediately, you may have to kill and restart your explorer.exe process (easiest to do with the Task Manager).1 hours ago When you create a folder on Windows 10 desktop or in Windows file explorer, the latter. There might be multiple matches for that Key, so repeat until all Keys have the value '0'. Desktop / explorer does not refresh automatically: the.
