Can you take the card out and use it that way?

Yes, that works OK and so to just ordinary USB drives with images on them. I've reported it via the feedback do-dah together with an MS capture (record problem) of it going wrong each time.

If you try viewing photos from a smartphone using different USB modes, then you can eliminate if problem is with your camera or specific USB mode.

When viewing pictures or other files from smartphone on PC, then Windows temporarily copies the file to hidden location, when that's done, then opens them, which for video files is annoying delay.

My sys opens and prints pdf's without problems. And everything else seems to be working okay so far...

I have this same problem. Can see them with File Explorer on the desktop, can rename, check properties etc. but they do not show on the desktop (where I download them). Then after 5 minutes or so, they suddenly appear in the upper right hand corner. Thought it was just my machine, tx for info.

Everyone has responsiveness or delay issues with most external devices, nothing new.

What you should see:
1) Pop-up window showing that you're copying files. If you're not, then send issue to Feedback Hub. You also should try copying files to a specific folder instead of sending them to desktop to see if it makes any difference.

2) File Explorer should not allow viewing or modifying anything during that time, doing so should freeze File Explorer, because external media devices (smartphones, cameras, old portable drives or old SD cards without buffer) don't support modern full duplex USB UASP (without it, most likely your device can't read and write at the same time or take multiple requests for file read or copy, your device also might not have internal storage with UFS 2.1+).

Also Defenders real-time scan on systems without SSD drive and the default new setting since 1903 to not buffer files data ahead for data safety reasons can also be blamed for delays, slowdowns and other issues, at least Indexing Service resource usage is improved in 20H1. You can also try enabling File explorer to run in multiple processes or temporaly disabling Defender to see if responsiveness and speed is different.
