I am using Windows 11.

With the home laptop, when I download files using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, the folder view of Windows File Explorer updates with the name and details of just the new file. When I delete a file using the Download menu of Firefox, File Explorer also auto-refreshes and deletes the name and details.

The work laptop doesn't auto-update or auto-refresh, leaving the names of temporary files and no new files being shown or deleted. I could only test this laptop with Chrome.

I've searched and found that deleting AutomaticDestination may help. I'm a bit wary about this without further details though.

What could be the problem? Can anyone help?

Is USN journaling turned on? I've found at least one of my machines without, and it's off by default on new volumes.

Run fsutil usn queryjournal c: - it should show some details about USN. If not, turn on by using fsutil usn createjournal c: (elevated prompt required).

For me, uninstalling OneDrive solved the problem, and there was no need to modify the registry.
