Windows 10: Opening files in File Explorer slow since Windows 11 update 24H2

I updated my Windows 11 to 24H2 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0 today and ever since I have, opening files in my file explorer are sluggish. For example, i still use Office 07. If i open a word file in file explorer it takes a long time, but if i open office directly, not through file explorer and then click on the file, it opens up really fast. I have also had it where I have .jpg files that i clicked on them and it took close to a minute to pop up. the pictures i haven't experienced many issues but not sure whey opening files are slow now since update. thanks.

Exe file slow to open

Possible... I had Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm, both, on different machines & times, misbehavin' and had to re-install them to set them right.
Even after cleaning them out and re-setting them; they would still bog the file access times down and cause Windows Explorer (not ie) to be slow on opening and accessing, until re-installed.

If he turns off real-time detection it will not make any difference, as he has already been opening the file... he would/should have gotten an alert or warning if there were a problem with the file he is testing with.

Probably not; but, how much ram?
What version of Windows?
Where is you swap file located? What size?
How full are your drives?
What processor?
Have you got the latest firmware for your SSD?
Are your drivers up to date?
Is your MB bios current?

Is the file an installation file, video file, etc? Does it use compression?

You need to goto User CP and put your system info there and then check the box to show the specs. The info will go a long way in helping some to diagnose your possible problem(s).

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Exe file slow to open

I know it's 1GB. I tested this on Win Explorer and Total Com.
For example 250MB file is opened in ~5 seconds.

@edit: I turned off the pagefile but it don't work.
