I have my mobile workstation set to turn monitors off after 3 hours, not standby. If I delete a file from my desktop (as in the desktop folder) and later the PC shuts down the monitors, ghosts of the files deleted will be back on the desktop when wake the monitors. If I try to delete these ghost files Windows tells me that the files do not exist. If I refresh the screen the files vanish. Its been happening for a while now and is still happening on .804. This seems pretty easy to confirm if someone wants to double check. EDIT: This might require 2 or monitors.
Yeah after deleting the file you have to manually refresh your desktop. This problem has been known since 20H1 and 20H2 I though MS would fix it with their Windows updates but nope. So sad we have to deal with such basic bugs
On unmodified 19042.804, after deleting the file it's gone for me, no need to do anything afterwards, the files are gone, what known bug?
Delete works just fine, its just that the monitors sleeping and then waking brings the files back as ghosts. You can even right click them but selecting any option results in windows saying the files do not exist. Right clicking the desktop and selecting refresh causes all of the ghost files to vanish. I am going to see if I can recreate this intentionally later today.
Ahhhhh found a way to instantly recreate this bug. 1. Create any file on your desktop, delete it, empty the recycle bin. 2. Right click your desktop and select display settings. 3. Change the scaling percentage, now change it back. 4. See if the files you deleted are now ghosts on your desktop.
I reached out to team nerd and they were able to confirm this on 2004/20H2 but not on 1903/1909. Those are all systems I have never personally touched so I have eliminated me from the equation.
Also when I download a file from the internet, I have a row on top of screen full of folders left to right and the file "moves" downwards the folder far left. Before After downloading a file
