Need some advice on slow file explorer

[storm913]

Not sure to post here or software clinic.

Been experiencing slow loading of file explorer on my newly built windows 10 system (1 mth old, specs -->)

When i open my file explorer and go to my other drive, it will lag for roughly 5-8 sec, sometimes it even open in a new window. This also happen sometimes on the main drive which is the SSD.

I have googled and have follow this procedure: https://www.tenforums.com/performan...ile-explorer-slow-never-loading-solution.html

And also installed malwarebytes and ccleaner, both shows PC is fine and running without issues.

Any advice please?

This one you can blame on Windows 10. It's the searching/indexing for Quick Access which is slowing down file explorer. I disabled it, which fixed the problem.

I had this when I clean installed Windows 10 1151 on my ivybridge thinkpad with explorer hanging.

Pretty sure one of the 1607 change logs did mention something about a fix for this. Issue was addressed since.

Already on general items

Disabled that too, helps a little, but sometimes still laggy. Can't believe my 5 years old system didn't have this problem on windows 10 but have it now.

Hmm, have you tried defragging your hard disk?

i've not exp this problem on my two win10 systems with ssd, except when data hdds sleeping need to wait for them to wakeup

cud it be 3rd party stuff causing indexing problem etc, eg 3rd party antivirus?

"lagging" explorer is a windows 10 thing. you can downgrade to 8. Or use other file manager
