Windows 11 file explorer is slow and lag. When using the up and down arrows it goes very slow compared to windows 10 which is super fast. It is also slow when opening folders as well as selecting either with the mouse or with shift + arrows.

    Using the File Explorer has helped as the files can actually be opened but there is still a 10-15 second lag time when I click on things; the blue circle keeps spinning and some files [especially w/ Excel ones] I have to click on them multiple times before they open....REALLY FRUSTRATING AND EMBARASSING WHEN WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO USE APPLE PRODUCTS SINCE THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE!!

    MICROSOFT: HOW DO WE GET THIS CORRECTED?????

    Tutorial above makes the second option was the one that worked for me, just download the reg file and run it and restart the PC. It puts the windows 10 file explorer, it is much faster than the windows 11 file explorer itself.

    I'd love to know how this was done with Winaero as well, this issue is really annoying.

    Thanks
