How do I make explorer.exe load my desktop quicker past login screen?
I've finally managed to improve the performance of my laptop using multiple solutions as described in the threads I've made on this forum. The line is only going to keep going up.
However I have a minor performance problem. After I enter my password using the login screen, explorer.exe takes a long time to load. It takes a couple of seconds for my icons to appear on my desktop. All I see is the taskbar and the desktop wallpaper but with no icons on it. Eventually the icons begin to load. Once that's done, it takes a couple of seconds for all the pinned program icons and system tray icons to appear on the taskbar.
Is there a way to speed this up? What could be slowing it down?
Pressing the windows key to open the start menu doesn't work as it just causes the screen to go black then explorer.exe crashes to reopen again.
I'm using Windows 10 21H1
