Windows 10: When saving Word 2013 document: File Explorer taking a long time to load files when typing...

Here is the process: I go to save a Word 2013 document (.docx), browse for the shared folder I want to save it to, then click on that folder. When inside I then type in the first few letters of the folder I want to save the word document to using file explorer search. When I type this in the search, letters A-G are automatically searchable, but any letter after that takes around 20-30 seconds to load and become searchable.


I believe this is simply a matter of it loading slowly BUT this only happens with Word! Any other program this does not happen, I am able to search immediately in file explorer when typing in the first few letters of the file.


This isn't a serious problem obviously, just a matter of convenience. I do this process of saving quite often and it really does take a lot of time away from my day. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Find a word in a lot txt files

beats me. but it is faster using grep. what's more, in a business if you were scan through tens of thousands of documents the time saved would really add up. just saying.

the OP has a bunch of txt files and he is trying to avoid doing what you suggested because it takes forever when youve got a bunch of files.

Files and folders take a long time to load in File explorer

This just started happening this week. Whenever I try to open file explorer in windows 10 it takes a very long time for my files and folders to appear. I have tried using the DISM command but that did not fix the problem
