    Opening File Explorer with large icon view


    It seems it takes longer then it should for windows to show the icon view, I know my system is older, but still it just seems to be slow. I get the green progress bar as the folders and files are refreshed. Isn't this cached?

    Any suggestions on how I can investigate this?

    :)
