Windows 10: Navigating with file explorer through folder with many zip files is very slow.

Hi,


When I navigate through a network directory that contains many zip files I seem to have a pause while some kind of indexing is going on. Happens every time I navigate through it, from parent through to child and back again.
Is there some policy I can enable that will cause explorer to stop looking inside zip files?

Folders with zip files

I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?

 

Folders with zip files

just go to the root folder and do a search for all zip files, then select all and extract where you want.
