    Windows 10 is slow at creating, renaming and deleting folders


    Hi, I'm new to this forum and I've came here hoping I could find a solution to my annoying problem.
    I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1909 and for a few weeks, creating folders, renaming and deleting them takes quite a while to complete (around 10 seconds or so).
    I've tried a lot of solutions that didn't help me in the end, such as running "sfc /scannow" or chkdsk.
    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Desktopini created instead of a folder renaming

    Every time I try to rename a folder on my PC (Windows 10 Pro), instead of renaming the file, it creates a desktop.ini folder, and inside of it is the following information

    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=

    After LocalizedResourceName= is the name of the folder that I renamed it to. So if it was Folder1 and I rename it to Folder2, that file will say:

    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=Folder2

    ... but the actual foldername will still be Folder1

    Searching the Internet lists a bunch of random suggestions, none of which work. Anyone know why this happens? I'm pretty close to abandoning File Explorer, as it seems to be the cause of this issue.

    Windows 10 file explorer slow to create or delete folder names

    I was experiencing the same issue on a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. While googling for a solution I saw someone suggest uninstalling OneDrive. This fixed the issue immediately - no more delay when right clicking, no delay in creating new folders, deleting
    folders or renaming them, and explorer windows are opening in an instant.
