Windows 10: There's a lag when using Explorer.

When I open Explorer and click on My Documents for example, it freezes for like 5 seconds. Then it seems not to have the issue unless I restart my computer again.


I have Windows 10 Pro for Workstation.


Any ideas what may be causing this?

In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

• Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Windows 10 general lag

I also noticed a lag somehow connected to the explorer. The biggest problem for me is the File Explorer's pinned folders list not opening or opening with a huge delay (up to 2-3 seconds). Sometimes it affects Start menu too. The issue started for me with
Preview build 10130.

In win7-8.1 I normally clicked the Explorer's icon on Toolbar with LMB and "pulled" it up, which opened the list. In Win10 it does work, but due to lag it's completely useless. It was supposed to be "quick access" option... :/

 

setting default view for Winodws Explorer Search Reasults

Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

• Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
• In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
  to change the view.
• Once changed, close the File Explorer.
• Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.
