    WIndows Explorer Very Slow


    HiOpening folders on my PC is extremely slow. Can take 10 seconds for a folder to open after I double click. Its even slow when saving attachments from emails through Outlook 365. I trawled the internet and this forum in particular and see others with similar issues. I have tried all the fixes people suggest, to many to remember, and none sort the issue. I have a number of drives attached to my machine and thought that might be the cause so I removed them all and to no avail. I even cloned and replaced my SSD to another brand but the issue persists.I am currently using OneCommander which

    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

    Windows 10 file explorer very slow (working on it...) issue

    This seemed to help. Time will tell. It certainly is more helpful and practical than the suggestion to end toe Explorer task and start a new one.
