The linked article describes the problem that Win Explorer does not auto-refresh.

But my problem is different.
I want to MANUALLY refresh File Explorer by pressing F5.

But when I press F5 the the following 'Project' pane appear:

I don't want to additionally press <Fn> key.

How can I just re-create former F5 meaning for Win10 File Explorer?

Check your BIOS may be and option to change there from action to function. If so this would reverse the keys from what they are now to what you want.
