Rename Does Not Refresh In-screen / Excel Will Not Connect To (My Computer)
Oct 19, 2015
I just installed W10. I am experiencing several of the issues posted by others - Defenders, etc. However, I have not seen these two issues.
(1) When I try to rename a file (F2) in Explorer, the file renames but the screen does not refresh and show that name. I have to exit the folder, then reenter that folder. This also is required if I "move" a file from one folder to another - including to the recycle folder.
(2)I was able to open Word without any problem. When I tried to open Excel, however, it froze ("not responding"). I reopened it in "safe mode" and it displayed a blank spread sheet. I keep my files on a USB drive (connected and read by Explorer) and Excel is defaulted to open to that drive. But in safe mode I need to use "Explorer" to access them. So, I click on the "My Computer" icon in Excel and ... "not responding."

I have Windows 10 installed on 2 of my 3 computers. A 2 screen video editing machine that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 works perfectly - I open Windows Explorer, I either hold the mouse over the left part of a file name, or right click on top of a file name for the dialog menu to come and then click rename, either way I am then able to rename the file to what I want.
But I re-installed (after the successful WIN7 upgrade) Windows 10 over Windows 8.1 on my main 27" HP and like it did the first time whenever I open a Windows Explorer program - whether from the taskbar or from a shortcut - and do the same to rename the file (either hold left or right mouse) so the filename is highlighted and as I start to retype the new file name it just automatically refreshes and reverts back to the original file name.

I'm running a small, industry specific program in Windows. It runs fine on a LOT of Windows 10 installs, but on the occasional Windows 10 machines I have the following happen.
- The program loads like normal.
- The user is prompted to enter a PIN to enter the software.
- The software just sits there, showing no input even though the user has entered their PIN.
- If I right click on the taskbar, all of a sudden the PIN shows as entered.
- The user then presses the login button and again, nothing happens.
- If I right click on the taskbar, again, the software refreshes and the next screen is shown.
This goes on and on. The app will only refresh when the task bar has been right clicked.
Now interestingly out of the say 10 or so Windows 10 machines that we've had issues with, some of them can be fixed by running a Windows Update. Others can be fixed by running in compatibility mode. The screen of a program won't refresh until you right click the task bar?

I am troubleshooting an issue for a neighbor. When using File Explorer (or while on the desktop), if he tries to delete a file or folder, rename it, move it, etc. the open file explorer window (or the desktop) does not change to reflect the action unless he refreshes the windows (or desktop) by hitting F5 (or for the desktop right clicking and selecting Refresh).

I've just switched from Microsoft operating system (OS) 7 to the free OS10 upgrade on one of my computers, and a right click on the Excel icon does not open more than one of the files listed with the option "New.". All I want to do is to open multiple new files and then assign specific files for each of the new open spreadsheets on the screen ones that have no content. I typically have 10 or 20-files on the screen that I'm working with. I've done this for years using OS7. I also have another computer with OS8, and it's not a problem.

In previous windows versions I could resize two spreadsheet windows and drag them side-by-side. With Win 10 if I click on a second spreadsheet it replaces the first.
How do I get two Excel 2000 spreadsheets side-by-side to compare two versions??

Have 4 computers & NAS on the "Workgroup" within a private network. Most are using static IP addressing, one is using DHCP.
Two are Windows 7 machines, two have been upgraded to Windows 10.
The "Network" on the windows 7 machines show everything including the windows 10 machines and the NAS.
Both of the Windows 10 machines show both of the windows 7 machines but not the other windows 10 machine nor the NAS.
The NAS can be connected to the windows 10 machines using the app even though they do not show up on the windows 10 machines "Network". (Not a real problem & has been addressed in other forums)
When ARP -a is run on any of the Windows 7 or 10 machines, all the other IP addresses are there including the NAS.
All of the machines can ping the other IP addresses on the network.
It would seem that something in the Windows 10 OS is not allowing the other Windows 10 machine to show up in "Network".
Windows 10 appears to be a great upgrade even without the network mapping feature that was in windows 7 nor showing the NAS.
Prior to upgrading the 2 windows 7 machines (now on windows 10) to windows 10, everything was working just fine. Four computers and the NAS were showing up in "Network" and connectivity was excellent.
Before I convert the remaining two Windows 7 machines to Windows 10, I must know just what is causing this issue and the solution. The inability to communicate between these two computers, if not solvable, is a deal breaker.

A couple days ago I noticed that instead of having the ethernet in my taskbar that it is connected to wifi. I dont understand that because I have been using hardwire forever. To top it off my xbox connects via ethernet, but my pc wont. have tried the same cable that connects my xbox. I am pretty sure this is causing serious game lag, and i dont know what to do at this point. i cant access my router settings either. i type 192.168.1.1 and it doesnt load. that is the same ip address that i have always used before.
So this solution did work in a sense. Once reinstalled my drivers, my computer did detect that there was a ethernet plugged in, but it said the there was no connection. I disabled wifi on the computer, so it can only connect to ethernet. even tho it says that there is not internet connection through ethernet, everything is working great. It permanently has the Caution symbol over my internet.

So I've built my first ever PC and I chose the ASUS Z170-A as motherboard. When I was finished I installed Ubuntu. The ASUS motherboard do not have wifi compatibility integrated so I used the ethernet cable to connect to internet. That worked just fine, everything worked very smoothly. Then I decided to install Windows 10 instead. I bought the Windows 10 Pro, wiped out all the Ubuntu reserved partitions on the SSD disk, and install Windows.
But now, while having the ethernet cable inserted to the motherboard, it wont recognize it. The green and orange lights next to the ethernet cable input are even turned on (indicating that the PC does have a connection). But still the OS wont recognize that it is there. So even when Ubuntu succeeded to recognize the cable, Windows 10 din not. I speculated that I need some kind of software to detect the cable, but I am probably wrong.

Since downloading to Windows 10 I have had trouble connecting my computer to the Internet. I am on a college campus and having a computer with no internet is like a truck driver without a truck. I am able to connect to the Internet at random times for a few moments before it shows up with limited acces symbol on my wifi icon in the bottom right hand corner. My internet works fine when it is plugged in through an Ethernet cable but that is very inconvenient.

I'm troubleshooting a PC that was recently upgraded a few weeks ago from windows 7 to windows 10.Up until today, there were no major issues. However, suddenly the computer stopped connecting to the internet. It's not picking up any wireless signals and even with an network cable plugged in, it doesn't connect to the internet. The network adapter picks up as working when I check everything in the device manager, and when I look up the network printers, I am able to see them. But when I try to setup a new network connection, I get a message saying "no network hardware detected". And when I try to print random documents, I am not detecting the printers.

I have a Microsoft account set up with a pin. Every time I boot my computer up, I am greeted with the login screen and my photo, with the message below it, "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later." And it's asking for my password, not my pin. For some reason, I see my username twice on the lower left corner. One is the password log-in, the other is the pin. I can successfully log in with either. I just want to know, what is with the error message? I've got a connection, so I can't figure out why.

After installing KB3124200 & KB3116900 updates, I'm no longer able to rename or move folders. When I try, it gives the error "Can't find the specified file".
I have done sfc /scannow but it didn't work. Also, I have run default file associations registry files from here, but it didn't work either.

I had trouble making new flders in File Explorer last week but managed to fix that (at least for a day). I can now make new folders again, either via the tool bar or by right-clicking, but once the folder exists, when I try to re-name it I get an error window popping up that says: Can't find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name. I just got the computer to make the folder, why can't it find it?

In searching Windows 10 News I found an update not posted to Windows Update:
10586.79 Still could not Rename folders
Contacted Microsoft Support:
She had me do a System Restore to 10586.63 Was able to rename folders!
Windows Update updated to 10586.71 Again I could not Rename folders.
In addition I am having this issue on two (2) other computers.
On one I did a System Restore to 10586.63 and Renaming is now working.
How can I hold the update to 10856.71 until this is fixed?
