Windows 10: Explorer (window management) alternative for Windows 10

For as long as Windows 10 has been around, I've had tremendous issues with UI fluidity and speed on the OS. An example:

On a new ThinkPad laptop with fairly high specs, I opened Explorer and went to C:\SomeFolder. I pressed shift+ctrl+n to create a new folder. The green progress meter started running on the address bar for 20 seconds! Then what? Nothing. No "New Folder". I had to press F5 and then New Folder appeared. This kind of behaviour is even worse on network drives. This is totally unacceptable and impossible.

You may think this is not normal, my system is corrupted. But I've encountered many same or similar problems on at least 5 other Win10 machines. It's just much, much slower and more difficult to do basic things on a Win10 computer compared to Win7.

1. If you have suggestions how to fix this NewFolder/Rename/etc. directory listing update problem, please let me know. None of the fixes I've seen so far have worked.

2. Is there an alternative for Explorer that would actually work lightning fast for new folder etc.? I have tried some alternatives such as FreeCommander, but haven't been happy so far. One important requirement is the ability to show a preview pane (which is part of Win7+Win10 explorer), showing smart previews of media files (much bigger than thumbnails).

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
