    My Download main download folder is still slow


    Even after I got my new SSD it spedup everything but when bringing up the Download folder it super slow at adding up all the file details and icons. It's weird because this only happens in this folder while browsing in file explorer. Even my picture folder loads faster.

    Any help would be great, Thanks!

    :)

  2. Upgraded to Windows 10: Missing files

    I just updated to Windows 10. After doing so, all my files were missing from the main folders like Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and Downloads. Even my desktop background changed. My desktop was also clean from downloaded apps. However, I found it in
    (C)/windows.old

    I moved everything from windows.old folder to my main folders. After a few hours, suddenly, while waking the laptop from 'sleep', everything was gone from the main folders. My desktop background came back to my background before upgrading to Windows 10.
    (Tho now its still in Windows 10) Apps downloaded before were back in desktop. How do I recover the files?

  3. Downloads folder slow

    Hello,

    The slow loading issue with your Downloads folder occurs most of the time when Windows is trying to create thumbnails for photos and videos in the folder, even if none of the files are pictures. File corruption is another cause of this kind of scenario.
    As such, we recommend performing the tips provided on this article: Tips to improve PC performance in Windows 10.
    This highlights most of the known methods in improving your device's performance that can help make your system run faster and can aid in optimizing the General items folder.

    Do not hesitate to reply if you need more help.

    The number of files in any Folder and sometimes subFolders with their files can impart a slowness as they are being listed.
