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.

    same problem guys. and additionally, whenever I am renaming any file it's closing my file explorer. I am a developer for me it's like hell feelings. I beg to windows authority. stop launching new windows before checking it and please fix this problem asap..

    Hah! Have you forgotten that we - the users and the wider public - are now Microsoft's beta testers?

    FWIW... I just realized the only navigation lags I see are in OneDrive and SharePoint synced folders.
