Windows 10: File Explorer taking long time to load on new PC

recently i bought a new pc for college and gaming Lenovo Legion T5 with decent specs, but out of nowhere whenever i wanna open the File Explorer it takes about 5 minutes to load, which is arguably a long time considering my 5 year old laptop loads it almost instantly. My C drive has 203GB worth of ZBrush files, pictures and about 2 games and my D drive is 931GB but basically empty. is there anything i can do so my file explorer opens faster?

Tabbed File explorer sidebar takes a long time to load

Soon after receiving the update to add tabs to the file explorer, the sidebar takes quite a while to load. Often it will take up to around 10 seconds to load the sidebar with all my pinned locations.

I notice this issue whenever I open the file explorer, open a new tab in file explorer, or when explorer opens to display locations to save a file.

Is this a bug? Are there any known troubleshooting steps or workarounds?
