  1. Task View gets more laggy the longer explorer is open


    As per title.

    I use multiple virtual desktops and I switch between them clicking the Task View button (yes I know about Ctrl+Win+Arrow I use that too).

    The longer explorer is running the more laggy opening up Task View becomes, until it gets unbearably slow. At which point I restart explorer.exe which temporarily solves it until it gets slow again.

    I have had this bug for as long as I can remember, I have been using windows 10 since release day.
