WinSCP is refreshing every minute

Hello,

I'm running version 6.5.4 Build 16408 2025-10-16.
Every minute, at 5 seconds past the minute, my WinSCP is hard-refreshing, as if I hit Ctrl+F5 on a web browser. It starts with the remote tree, then the remote directory, then the local tree, then the local directory. The refresh takes ~ 3 seconds and interrupts anything I'm doing at the time. Uploads and downloads pick up where they stopped, but navigation stops at the directory I was on and ignores any double clicks I do during the refresh, renaming files is interrupted, and scrolling is reset to the top of the directory. If I wait long enough for the connection to time out then the refreshing stops, but once I reconnect the refreshing begins again. The number of connections I have doesn't impact the refreshing.

Re: WinSCP is refreshing every minute

Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

I installed a Windows 11 update over the weekend and the refreshing hasn't happened at all today (~2 hours with it open so far). I suspect this was not a WinSCP issue, but did you still want me to run the debug version?

Thanks for your feedback. No point trying the debug build, if the problem does not happen. Let me know, if it ever comes back.
