    Hi kyheng, 

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this freezing and slowness, I understand how frustrating it can be when programs don't perform as expected. The performance team would like to take a closer look at this issue and dig in to what may be happening. Because this is impacting programs outside of Microsoft Edge, the team will need more information to investigate. 

    If you could open the Windows Feedback App and provide feedback on this, we can dig in to what's happening. On step 1, please include 'This feedback was requested by the Edge Performance team' in your feedback description. On step 2, for the category select 'Network and Internet' > 'All other issues'. For step 3, please create this as new feedback. Finally, on step 4 please select 'recreate my problem', confirm that both boxes are checked to include additional information, and demonstrate the steps that are causing the slowness. I know this may be difficult to capture as it happens over several hours, but capturing the freezing from Edge and the inability to interact within the File Explorer after should be all we need to get started!

    Earlier in the thread you mentioned you've disabled CacheTask and performance improved somewhat, if you don't mind re-enabling that for the recording it would help. 

    Finally, if you could share a link to your new feedback item here in the thread, I'll get it to the performance team to get started. 

    Thanks for your report, and for any assistance you're able to provide pinpointing this issue! Please let me know if you have any questions. 

    -Alex
