Hello!
Been a long time since I've needed the wisdom of my fellow PC enthusiasts! Tried searching and didn't come up with anything useful other than the methods I already tried.
Speccy for those who know what to do with it: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/tG75cwSF7KZdz1gGBghYPWA
The issue is this: Windows explorer is incredibly and frustratingly slow. Its so slow it feels like I'm on an old laptop with a failing spinning platter hard drive trying to recover files.
Nothing else on the computer is slow - just windows explorer. Nothing else slows down when explorer slows down. I use this laptop daily for everything from gaming to running our budget for our businesses. CPU usage doesn't spike or anything when explorer is slow. The highest consumption from the explorer process is about 15-20%. This issue is very frustrating because it is flat-out not usable in this current state.
Things I've tried:
Restarting the computer. Still slow even after a restart
Ending Explorer.exe and restarting it using task manager
Clearing the thumbnail cache using CCleaner.
Thanks in advance!
