Description
### Description
When pasting a file or anything in the WSL filesystem I have to hit F5 for the view to update. The green tick shows in the top right but the files list is not updated
This particularly happens when working in the WSL filesystem but occasionally happens in native NTFS too
### Steps To Reproduce
- Open directory in WSL
- Paste a file and see that the folder doesn't display the new item
### Expected behavior
- New item automatically shows
### Files Version
2.1.15.0
### Windows Version
Windows 11 Pro 21H2 22000.706
