Screen Refresh while/after file copy not occurring
Seems this is a brand new issue on 6.8.0. While copying files to a Folder on the NAS with that Folder open in the foreground in Windows Explorer, the screen is not updating during the copy process. ...

Hello TomBlack,
Have you checked if you were getting the problem on both computers that are wired and wireless to the network?
I tested here on wired and I was not getting the problem, you should see a small window that shows the progress bar of copying.

I usually run Wired. My recollection is Explorer screen updates were not an issue, but now it is.
I tried this fix to no real avail: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/desktop-does-not-refresh-automatically-windows.

Hello TomBlack,
How about on other computers?

Tried the same copy operation on my laptop and got the same result. The file only appears after the copy operation is complete.

This might be a Windows issue. Google Search "File Explorer Refresh". Lots are having the same issue and are not happy with MS!

Hello TomBlack,
You might want to also try testing the NAS by connecting it straight to the computer.
