Windows 10: Renaming Folder Slow

Hi


I've been having a problem with a delay renaming a file/folder (which takes atleast about 12 seconds)

No idea why... i've tried in safe mode and there's no delay at all


could someone help me out with this issue?

if i do a clean reboot does that means my projects and documents and my softwares will be wiped out?


thanks
