How to make pictures/videos load faster in folders?

those specs aren't too shabby, I thinking the thumbnails should load faster than what you are describing.

what's the age of the rig?
I would start by making sure your laptop is lean and clean.
what have you doing to maintain it?
run things like CCleaner from Piriform, or the inbuilt Windows cleanmgr program (run from a command prompt).

does the unit have a HDD or SSD?

let's get all the specs of the laptop.
get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into a post.

Download and run KillEmAll
Unzip it to your desktop.
Right click run As admin.
This will kill all non essential processes.
Including your browser, so save anything you are working on prior to running the tool.
Let us know if the thumbnails load faster after using killemall.

your processor is an Intel Core i7 1035G7 running at 1.3GHz.
in other words, a purpose built CPU to run in laptops, to run cool, to converse power - and to achieve all that, run slow!

I suspect the rig as never been a speed demon, and every use from day 1, you would have been thinking "what's taking so long?"

thank goodness for the SSD - without that, it would be a brick.

also, stop running CC daily - too frequent cleaning will actually be slowing you down.
CC gets into some Windows areas, like prefetch and cache folders, when these are cleaned, Windows has to re-generate them. yes, clean them monthly (or what have you) to remove the crap that has accumulated from many previous usages that aren't needed anymore.
