Did the "upgrade" to win11 last week, it's been quite horrible especially the windows explorer which hangs for 5s every time I open a folder 😮💨
I don't use Windows anymore, but I understand if you have to. Recently I found this alternative to the windows explorer build from the ground up to be as efficient as possible https://filepilot.tech/ It's a cool project from a great programmer that has a presentation on the Better Software Conference showing how it works underneath. It uses older windows API functions that apparently are way faster than the modern alternatives.
Thanks for linking, this will be great the next time I deal with a Windows machine!
