Windows 10: Windows explorer very slow (green bar)

Windows explorer very slow (green bar)
My windows explorer used to be very fast. Then I tried to decompress a zip file, and cancel it.
Now it is very slow.
symptoms:
-When I press (Windows)+E nothing happens until some minutes later (before it opened winosw explorer instantly)
-when explorer is open I can see the folder icons only. The rest are just white squares. (the icons of all other files take time to open)
-the green bar in the upper side shows a very slow progress.
-If I right click a file, the menu does not appear but a blue circle (loading) appears instead
The computer is not slow, and I can browse internet and doing other things. Only everything related to explorer is slow
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
Does anyone know if one can remove the green check marks in file explorer that indicate that a file is synced on OneDrive?
If one is using list, details or small icon view, there is no way to visually see the file type.
Thanks, Paul
