    Windows 11 File explorer EXTREMELY ANNOYING!


    HI, I have been using windows 11 on a fresh install for a while now and I must say the file explorer is atrocious. I have a new computer yet the file explorer has 10-30 sec delay to load folders and such. I would like an option to go back to the windows 10 file explorer. I have noticed this happens the most when accessing onedrive.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    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

  3. File Explorer extremely slow and unstable.


    So I just took part in the Windows 10 Insider Preview a couple of days ago, and I have to say, Windows 10 is a great step up from Windows 8, they did an excellent job so far. There's just one problem: File Explorer is extremely hard to use. Not only does the file explorer freeze all the time (even on folders with almost nothing in them), when it does freeze, it goes back to the top of the folder when it unfreezes.

    What I mean is that I can be half-way down a 260-count file folder, like this:

    Then it will freeze, and after it unfreezes, it goes back to the top of the folder, like so:


    Windows 11 File explorer EXTREMELY ANNOYING! [​IMG]


    Doing simple tasks such as moving, copying, renaming, deleting and even scrolling and clicking causes File Explorer to freeze, sometimes even when it's idle!

    And what's weirder is that the glitch doesn't happen when your opening a file for a specific program (say you click 'open' in Word and you get the 'Open' dialog box where you can pick a file).

    I posted this over to Windows Feedback too, but I don't think it supports user comments, so I'm posting here to see if there's any fix. If there's any fix for this, let me know. It's been annoying me for a while now.
