Flash CS6 does not see new files in a folder

Question

Hello, I'm using Flash CS6. Yes, I know. I know, trust me, I know. Anyway, I'm on Windows 10 21H2 and Flash does not see newly created files in a directory. I know the files are there, I just created them and can see them in Windows File Explorer. When I go to import them into a Flash project, Flash does not see them.
I've tried exiting and reopening Flash, and that doesn't seem to change anything. I've tried dragging directly from Explorer and I get a circle with a slash through it.

I have not tried rebooting because that, in all honesty, seems stupid just to get Flash to see that there's a new file in a folder. I've got other stuff going on with the PC (YouTube and some other browser windows) and it would be a pain to reboot right now--and as mentioned, that seems stupid just so Flash can see "Oh hey there ARE new files there, silly me!"

I can open these files in PhotoShop CS6 no problem, so I know they actually exist.

Any clues at all?

Many thanks in advance for any and all replies.

The import option in Flash Pro has a menu to select what kinds of files you want to import. I have often seen it default to ogg audio files, and when it does, all of the usual files you want to import won't show up in the import dialog. Try looking for that menu, and change it to All Openable Formats.
