But Restarting brought it back. Restarting is always required to start some services in Windows. Even some updates requires reboot of machine. That is how windows work. For example, if you change anything in folder options, you are required to restart the Windows Explorer for changes to take effect. So this is not anything new. hth

Try showing/not showing hidden files and folders in the Folder Options dialog - the change "takes" straight away without even having to Refresh, let alone restart Windows Explorer.

You haven't tried: Tools, Folder Options, View (this is all from Windows Explorer) Now click on Reset All folders and now click on: Apply to all folders. Let us know what you alert messages you get. I rest my case. hth

You said, "if you change anything in folder options, you are required to restart the Windows Explorer for changes to take effect". What I *did* try was setting hidden files/folders to not show (I always set them to show) via Tools > Folder Options. This is most definitely a "change...in folder options" as you describe, yet the change took place immediately without any need to "restart the Windows Explorer", contrary to what you asserted. What *was* your case? |
