  1. Windows Explorer only recognizes one keystroke at a time


    I work in folders that have tons and tons of subfolders. To navigate quickly to subfolders I want to reach, I'll type out the first 3-4 letters of the subfolder so that I don't have to scroll down to it, e.g. if the subfolder starts with the name "Generic" but I don't want to manually scroll all the way to the Gs, I type "Gene" on my keyboard, and it will first jump to subfolders beginning with "G" then "Ge" then "Gen" then "Gene", almost as fast as I'm typing.


    Lately, however, it will only process one letter at a time, so if I type "Gene" it will jump to subfolders beginning with "G", show my cursor as a loading icon, then go to subfolders beginning with "E", loading icon, subfolders beginning with "N", loading icon, then subfolders beginning with "E". The weird thing is, it only happens in one specific folder, and only if I'm in Windows Explorer - if I try to navigate using this method when accessing the exact same folder through a program, it works perfectly. It's only happening with one specific folder and its subfolders, and no one else seems to be having this problem.


    I am using a work computer that uses a VPN to access our servers, but this has never been a problem before; it just started a couple weeks ago. Any ideas what might have changed?
