This keeps happening especially on the desktop.Īgain, after a refresh (F5 or right click 'Refresh') the files reappear - or after restarting Windows Explorer or your machine.
Whenever you try to double click or delete them (again), Windows Explorer keeps telling you it 'Could not find this item'.
And it apparently has several solutions and workarounds but no concrete fix by Microsoft - not for Windows Vista, Windows 7 (SP1) and not for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It's a bug in Windows Explorer that prevents files and folders from properly updating until you perform a manual refresh. It's no bluescreen, it's no random driver freeze - at least those always have a clear solution. Since the Vista era, Windows users have been suffering from one of the most annoying bugs in the history of Windows bugs.
