Windows 10: Extremely poor File Explorer performance with Windows 10 1903 when accessing remote mounted...

Updated Win 10 Pro to 1903 KB4497935. Accessing remote mounted encrypted directory is slow to unusable with File Explorer. Have my own file access programs and not seeing the extreme slowness with my own app (similar to previous release of WIn 10 pro).


Problem seems to be with File Explorer.

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

iTwin - Remote File Access

here is the site (iTwin.com)

basically it is 2 usb dongles, that when plugged into 2 different computers that both have access to the internet, it creates a link between the two, allowing file transfer over the internet, easily.

obviously dyndns, static ips, etc - there are ways to do this without the dongle. but for most end users those are complicated. I think this is a pretty nifty idea *Smile
