Windows 10: Windows 10 Search feature is so slow, why?

I often have to find old files on my office network. Windows 10 in USELESS for this process. I have a computer that is still running Windows 7 and I use it for file search. Why the change in the search feature? I have seen other recommend getting special software for file search, if it worked before why should I purchase another program just to take up space? I know I will not or cannot influence Microsoft to fix this problem anymore than they can make me a fan of Windows 10. If anyone has a simple solution other than going into the registry file or purchasing another piece of software I would appreciate the information.


Thanks ..

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
