Windows 10: Windows Explorer laggy after 22H2 update

Hello all,I recently updated my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit to 22H2 OS 19045.2846. I ran the full updates on 4-15-2023. Ever since then I noticed that when I click and drag an icon on my desktop, there is a lag. There is a lag when I right click to get the pop up menu. And there is a lag when I click on the Windows Explorer icon in the Taskbar sometimes 10 seconds.I've tried a number of solutions.1. Forced Windows Explorer to restart - nothing2. Ran SFC scannow - nothing3. Ran DISM - nothing4. Did a Repair Install - nothing.The problem persists even after the repair install. Apps themselves se

:)

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
