Windows Explorer Poor Performance: multiple issues with drives
Recently after some changes to my PC windows explorer has become very slow at performing specific tasks:
1. Trying to view the properties of folders takes anywhere from 5-8 seconds when it used to take less than one.
2. When I open folders that have lots of images in them, it takes 3-6 seconds for windows to load the previews of the images.
3. This Windows Live Mail issue that I created a separate thread about.
My PC has a SSD for the OS and a HDD for storage. It doesn't matter which of these drives I am accessing with windows explorer, they both have the above problems.
As for the recent changes to my PC:
I recently was screwing around with my drive partitions and made a really stupid mistake. I accidentally created a new volume which took up my whole secondary HDD (not my OS drive). Thankfully some quick google searching got me a free software that recovered my partitions and after a quick reboot my PC appeared to be working fine again.
But now I have all these weird problems and have no idea how to fix them.
Short of a clean windows 10 install, does anybody have any suggestions?
