Windows 10: Windows Explorer slow

I'm experiencing problems with explorer on version 1809 build 18312.1001.

The explorer is generally slow, if I try to open certain folders it will take a few minutes. If I try to move files it'll take a several minutes. Searches in folders are even slower.

This problem have been consistent for a couple of builds now, and I've also reset windows entirely. I also went back to an earlier build which seemed to resolve some of the isssues, though not entirely. I've actually gone so far as to getting new memory and SSD (which I would've in the near future anyway) in case that was the issue. But the problem is persists.

I've looked up several similar problems and solutions such as diabling cortana, and removing some folders from quick access, but I'm at a loss. Does anyone have a possible solution?

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
