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

    Hi

    How did you do that in Winaero pls?

    I don't remember very well, as it has been for some time. Winaero tweaker in "windows 11," Enable Ribbon "is enabled, but I don't think it should work there.

    What I did and it worked for me was this tutorial: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-the-file-manager-command-bar-in-windows-11

    In this tutorial I made Via a .REG file, and it worked perfectly, then I restarted explorer through the task manager, or restarting the PC.

    • Download this reg file from the tutorial above:

    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/downloads/DEECBW11.zip

    • Once downloaded, extract its contents and double-click on Disable Explorer Command Bar.reg to merge it with your existing registry settings
    • Confirm the UAC warning prompt and click on ‘Ok’ to permit the merge

    Restart your PC to make the change take effect and once it has.

    To re-enable the Command Bar, use the Enable Explorer Command Bar.reg file.
