Windows 10: Windows Explorer very slow, only on one profile/account

Hello All,

My Windows Explorer has become very slow, the symptoms are:
-Clicking on a folder take 10 seconds to open
-Right clicking on a folder take 10 seconds to bring up context menu

Pertinent notes:
-Occurring on both my storage hard drive and OS SSD
-Load up another profile/account on my PC and it has no issues

-On the affected account/profile, I use Q-Drir and it has no issues going into folders.#


Steps I've taken in an attempt to resolve:

-removed Trusteer Endpoint Protection
-turned off UAC
-set IE to autodetect settings connection
-open folder in new process tick box
-removed pinned folder from quick access
-removed Daemon Tool virtual disk E:
-tired dism and scannow
-tried dsmin scannow other commands (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files-winpc/windows-10-file-explorer-slow-to-create-or-delete/884f40a5-f287-4403-9141-40e8afc93ca8)
-tried remove Cortana (https://windowsreport.com/file-explorer-slow-windows-10/)
-There is a setting in a dialog named 'Folder Options'. Once that is open select the General tab. Look near the top for a pull down titled 'Open File Explorer to:' and select 'This PC' instead of 'Quick access' (default).


I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1803, all latest hot fixes.

Any help would be appreciated.

:)
