Windows 10: Very, very, very, slow to open network share with many files

I have a Win10 PC on my network with some shared directories, the "server". The share I use most has 23,000 files in 600 folders. When I access that share from a Win 7 PC it opens pretty much instantly, but to open it from my Win 10 PC takes for ever. The green progress bar creeps across the top of the window, it can take 10, 15 minutes or more *Shock Seems like it's indexing it or something.

I changed the Win 10 PC from hard wired to wifi for direct comparison to the Win 7 laptop - made no difference.

I disabled "Large Send Offload" on the "server" and that has sped up transfer of large files, but has done nothing to speed up the initial problem. No issue with Win 7 clients, so I think it has to be a Win 10 setting?

worried very much

This is exactly what happened to my son's computer, when he upgraded to Win 10 his computer crashed and it has not worked since he installed Win 10 on the first day it was made available. I suspect it has destroyed the hard drive. When he turns it on the
only thing that works is the fan inside the computer and that's it. This is a very expensive gaming computer, Microsoft please help!

 

3 year old PC not supported by Windows 10

I just spent an entire day, with the help of an IT buddy, finding out that my tower PC is no longer supported by Windows 10. For weeks I've been bombarded with updates and reminders about upgrading to Windows 10, ver 1609, but each time I upgrade I get
a black screen around the 75% upgrade complete mark - and I'm forced to back-out to the previous version of Windows 10. Twice a day I'm forced to close an automatic upgrade cause I know its going to fail. Today I took the chance to use Windows 10 Assistant
- assuming that because of all the issues I've been reading about, MS finally creates something we all can use. Turns out, it fails AGAIN! Only this time, I can't back-out to a previous version....my PC goes into a continues loop of rebooting. Literally
10hrs later and I'm forced install Windows 8.1 and I'm still working no re-installing all my programs, configuring my system and loading backed-up data.

Never again Microsoft, this was the last straw - you've lost a customer forever....but I'm sure you don't give a crap about one customer - its clear in your product and support.

 

Disabled Windows Defender and Firewall - no improvement *Sad
