Some files/folders causing immense lag in explorer
I recently backed up files from my C: (SSD, on which Windows is installed) to my E: (HDD for storage), to prepare for a clean Windows 10 re-install. But, after re-installing, when trying to copy back the files, it gets stuck at a certain point, with extremely slow transfer speeds. I've tried to check on the backed up folder containing the items that have slow transfer speeds, but explorer just endlessly hangs, not responding to anything when I do.
Eventually, the files do transfer over and they seem to work when they do (I opened up some audio files that took ages to copy, and they opened just fine after the transfer), but it's taking like 30+ minutes per file, and I've got thousands to copy back, so I'm looking for a potential solution.
