    File manager extremely slow on Win 11 and Win 10


    I've a desktop on which I have Win 11 pro 22H2 and my sister has a laptop on which Win 10 was upgraded to the 21H2 version which I don't really know if it's stil Win 10 or 11. The problem is that at a certain point after some hours Windows slows down a lot, you can't even open the START menu without waiting minutes.I installed Win 11 less than 10 days ago and I thought it was because of some messed up update, I deleted the last one from WinRE KB5022360 and this problem didn't show for few days. I thought I had solved. Yesterday it happened again! It is not an hardware problem because befor

  2. Win 11 computers cannot network but Win 10 can

    I have 3 desktop computers that I need on my home network. Initially, Computer 1 has Win 10 Pro, Computer 2 has Win 10 Pro, and Computer 3 has Win 11 Pro. All three talked to each other, shared files etc.

    I then upgraded Computer 2 to Win 11 Pro.

    Now, Computer 1 (Win 10) can communicate with Computer’s 2 (Win 11 Pro) and 3 (Win 11 Pro) and Computer’s 2 and 3 can also communicate with Computer 1, but I cannot get Computer’s 2 and 3 (Both Win 11 Pro) to communicate. The only change made was the upgrade on Computer 2 so it’s likely the problem.

    I have tried everything I can find to try:

    1. Clear all credentials from Credential Manager
    2. Disable Credential Manager Service automatic Startup
    3. Turn off password-protected sharing
    4. Modify Local Security Policy
    5. Add the credentials in Credentials Manager
    6. Set IP address to automatic
    7. Change Network Profile to Private
    8. SMB Direct checked
    9. SMB 1.0/CIFS Client checked
    10. All three boxes checked under SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support checked and unchecked



    Most procedures are repeated on most web sites and I still get the Credential required screen.

    I’m considering reverting back to Win 10 Pro on computer 2 as a last resort.

  3. How in WIN 11 do I change the drive letter of the CD/ROM drive?

    Thanks, Greg.

    So this is what worked, step by step.

    Reboot

    Drive is listed as E: in file explorer.

    Drive not listed in Disk Management.

    Insert DVD, it plays after short pause.

    Disk management now shows Audio CD as E:

    Right click, change letter to R: (while playing!)

    Reboot.

    Drive now shows as BD-RE drive as R: in File Explorer.

    The bottom line is

    - File Explorer does not provide for changing drive letter afics.

    - Disk Management seems to need a disk to be in the drive for it to "see" the drive. I can't recall is this is Win 10 behaviour

    I don't recall having any difficulty with this in Win 10 (its possible that the Win 10 default drive allocation was "after" my external drives; or I "just changed it").

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    Switching from Win 10 to Win 11

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be getting new MB and CPU when I move to Win11. And I always do system volume image backups after I successfully update Windows so no problem there *Smile.

    Cheers!
