Quick fix for very slow to load 8 | istartedsomething this solution worked for me :)
Hey there WightWalker,
Not sure if you have found your solution yet, but I was struggling with this particular issue since installation of Windows 10. A number of my folders took forever to sort by Date, size or anything except the standard Windows Explorer Display.
Luckily, there is an exact solution that works like a charm!!
Step 1: Open Explorer
Step 2: Go to the folder that you have issues with (but don't go into the folder)
Step 3: Right click on the folder, and select Properties
Step 4: Click on the "Customize" tab
Step 5: Under the "Optimize this folder for:" drop down, change this to "General Items"
Step 6: Tick the box that says include subfolders
Step 7: Click Apply and OK
Step 8: Done, move on to your next problem folder and repeat :)
I seem to have found a solution (at least on my PC), I went to the View Tab in File Explorer....clicked on Options and then the View Tab on Folder Options Window. Scroll down the list until you see the Checkbox for "Launch folder windows in a separate process" and check that and click Apply. Hope it works for you.....
Frankly, I'm astonished that Microsoft doesn't just default all folders to "General", then only set "Pictures" for the pictures folder. Don't try to guess... because sometimes people have mixed documents in a folder.
Also, if this doesn't work, I saw someone suggest that you change all files to Read/Write. Something about them being read-only can contribute. Also, change the folder to show details instead of icons.
