Long delay before new files or folders appear

I know that you always have 2 Folders! Almost everyone does it the wrong way.

My looks like this:
Attachment 407693

It is important that you make the 1st step,
Change Storage Save Locations in Windows 10
before you you make the 2nd step:
In the Location TAB you enter the path:

E:\yourname\Documents
repeat that with Music, Downloads, pictures, ....

It is safe and there is no (!) risk. I could show you more than 100 PCs with that config.
I do not have a singel personal file on (C:)

If you doubleclick on the 2 Document-Folders you see 2 different locations!
I have just 1 location! That makes it easy to run a backup etc.

I don't follow ? ...... the link you gave is the steps I followed to move location of my folders - so I have done that.

Interesting.
Try

Many found that resolved this.

Otherwise

Again:
Please try this in SAFE MODE and if ok, after a clean boot and report outcome.

Recently
- a. Consider using a System Restore point before this started.
- b. History- what changed 'recently'?


I would never conceive of using the Location tab to do that as I presume you have for reasons I've given on numerous previous occasions.

Please also run Crystal DiskMark on your 2nd drive and compare that with reference cases you should be able to find on the web.

I tried that Microsoft link option - made the 2 changes... and it appears to have resolved the issue.
Thank you
