Windows 10: Windows 11 Explorer lags / hangs

I also experienced Lags with the Explorer:On Windows 10, i could solve them by removing external file-drives SMB from Quick-Access. I created a folder with Links to the drives instead and explorer was fast again. Probably the explorer tried to connect to these drives and for some reason failed, even though the connection was up and working.On Windows 11 on a new computer i have again troubles with the explorer, this time i think it is due to a wrong/old account which is no longer active:The problems came with the "Home"-Button, which was added at some point. Also the "Please sign in" only sh

Windows 11 file explorer is slow, lagging, hangs!

Hi Paul Juke,

Nothing wrong with my Hardware, I removed Windows 11 and Install my old good Windows 10 and now everything is working with no lags, hangs with file explorer.

Windows 11 file explorer is slow, lagging, hangs!

Hi,

I have a very strong PC with Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Intel i7-9700K, 32GB Memory and ASUS ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming.
When my PC was on Windows 10 there was no problem with File Explorer but after upgrading to Windows 11 I am facing a problem with file explorer slow, lagging, hangs even when just renaming a file.
Only full PC restart is solving the problem for a short time.

How to solve this problem on windows 11 please?

Thanks,
AG

I also experienced Lags with the Explorer:

1. On Windows 10, i could solve them by removing external file-drives (SMB) from Quick-Access. I created a folder with Links to the drives instead and explorer was fast again. Probably the explorer tried to connect to these drives and for some reason failed, even though the connection was up and working.
   
2. On Windows 11 on a new computer i have again troubles with the explorer, this time i think it is due to a wrong/old account which is no longer active:
   
   
   
   
   The problems came with the "Home"-Button, which was added at some point. Also the "Please sign in" only shows when selecting the "Home"-Button.
   
   This might also be related to an account i am unable to remove:
   
   
   
   Clicking on 'Manage' opens the login-page for the first account and i can not find the old account in the first account to remove it.
   

Can your problem also be associated with one of the issues above?

Does anyone know how to solve the second issue by e.g. disabling the "Home" button, changing the account in the explorer or removing a no longer existing old account?
