  1. File Explorer being extremly laggy.


    Hello.As, the title says, my file explorer is VERY laggy.I tried things like scanning with an antivirus, cleaning it's history, deleting temp files, switching from Quick Access to This PC, nothing worked. I even scaned the PC in Command Line. I looked at the forums, but there were no things that helped me. It wasn't that laggy even yesterday. Just today. If there's any more info that I can provide it would be super helpful.Regards

    :)
