Windows 10: Desktop folder really slow

Opening anything from desktop takes up to two minutes. File explorer works fine, and opening the same file from the explorer is normal. Opening apps from the start menu or the task bar also works like it used to, but if it is from a shortcut on the desktop it is really slow. I updated the firmware, but it didn't help. The problem does not occur in safe boot. Any idea what could cause the problem and how could I fix it?

The Windows 10 "Photos" App is really slow.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums



We understand your concern as the Photo app is responding slow, while accessing the photos from the backup location.



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• Where are these pictures saved/backed up?
  
• Do you face the lag issue when accessing pictures that are saved on desktop/Pictures folder in C drive?

Try copying few pictures randomly on the desktop folder and access them using the Photo app. If you still face the same issue, then reset Photos app and check.

1. Press Windows + I key to launch
   Windows settings.
   
2. Click on Apps and select
   Apps & feature from the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down and select
   Photos App on the right pane.
   
4. Click on Advanced option and then click on
   Reset.
   
5. Restart the PC and check.

Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

I can only suggest that you
1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials
