Windows 10: File Explorer slow to open file directories and some files

Hello,


My Asus Zenbook is relatively new, with very few files on it, and my file explorer is slow to open my files or One Drive files using the explore.exe command on the task bar or when I create a shortcut. I've tried some other options recommended in similar forums, but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This happens when I'm on various WiFi networks.

Exe file slow to open

Possible... I had Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm, both, on different machines & times, misbehavin' and had to re-install them to set them right.
Even after cleaning them out and re-setting them; they would still bog the file access times down and cause Windows Explorer (not ie) to be slow on opening and accessing, until re-installed.

If he turns off real-time detection it will not make any difference, as he has already been opening the file... he would/should have gotten an alert or warning if there were a problem with the file he is testing with.

Probably not; but, how much ram?
What version of Windows?
Where is you swap file located? What size?
How full are your drives?
What processor?
Have you got the latest firmware for your SSD?
Are your drivers up to date?
Is your MB bios current?

Is the file an installation file, video file, etc? Does it use compression?

You need to goto User CP and put your system info there and then check the box to show the specs. The info will go a long way in helping some to diagnose your possible problem(s).

 

Exe file slow to open

I know it's 1GB. I tested this on Win Explorer and Total Com.
For example 250MB file is opened in ~5 seconds.

@edit: I turned off the pagefile but it don't work.

 

Open File Explorer with pre-defined directory?

Welcome to TenForums @clsven

First, pin File Explorer to the task bar. You can then click and drag a folder (such as Videos) and drop it on the File Explorer icon to pin it to File Explorer. The list of pinned folders can be accessed by right-clicking on the File Explorer icon. Select a folder from the list and you will open File Explorer at that folder. This is the same list of pinned folders that you will see in File Explorer's Quick Access.
