  1. Folders takes far too long to load


    Whenever i try to open any folder, doesnt matter if it has 1 file or none, it will take far too long to load OR it will get stuck when the bar is close at the end, i have tried these two things, changing the "Optimise this folder for" to general items, and restarting my computer, both of them didnt work, i have no clue how to fix this

    Long Loading Time for Lock Screen

    Hello Pawan, thank you for the reply!

    I've tried all of the steps that you've given me. Unfortunately, none of them made a difference except for the clean boot step. It didn't completely solve the problem, however I did notice a
    slightly faster load time for the lock screen. However, it still takes an unusually long time to load it. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Daniel

  3. Loading of documents in windows explorer takes long time

    Recently, my windows explorer is really slow whereby a green loading bar is visible for a long time.

    I tried multiple options such as:
    - a refresh via the task manager
    - rebuilding index
    - clear explorer history (+launching folder windows in a separate process)
    - uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
    - msconfig > uncheck "Windows Search" (this option is not visible anymore in my System Configuration either)

    but none of these options work. As a result of this problem, I cannot create new folders or whatsoever as the explorer seems to freeze. I wonder what other steps can be taken to fix this loading problem.

  4. Folders takes far too long to load

    Website take to long to load

    Hi Hector,

    There are several reasons why a website takes too long to respond. One of which is if the internet connection is intermittent. To isolate the issue, please answer the following questions:

    • When did the issue start?
    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you connected via wireless or wired connection?
    • Does this happen to all websites you visit?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We're looking forward to your response.
