    Explorer lags sometimes when going though folders


    Windows explorer seems very laggy when entering or going back from a folder. Sometimes it's instant and other times it can take 10 or so seconds to get into a folder. Why is this happening so often? I'm currently on Windows 11 latest build.

    :)

    File Explorer Scroll Lag

    Hello, I just did this and still the lagging continues. I want to point out that the lag occurs only when I scroll with the mouse, when I click and scroll the lag does not occur.
