- Microsoft corrects a bug that makes the explorer of files very slow to close
- There are a lot of other complaints concerning being slow elsewhere, however
- In addition, others declare problems with the file explorer crash, and it is time that Microsoft has obtained in addition to fixing this part of the interface
Microsoft finally solves a boring problem with the slow file explorer in Windows 11, but there are still a lot of complaints concerning this central part of the interface being too slow.
For the uninitiated, File Explorer is the application that shows you the files and folders stored on your PC – and this is the support by which you browse the said files (hence the name “Explore”).
The corrected correction is a solution for the “very slow to close” file explorer when the “X” button is clicked to close it, and Microsoft has announced that this remedy is applied to Windows test builds 11 Soon.
So, at least, this remedy is underway, but as the last underlines, there are many other niggles with File Explorer, as well as certain major frustrations.
This includes a bunch of users in the retro -reaction center for Windows 11 which have serious beef with the time that it is necessary to load the entire interface of File Explorer (all the different small menus and options) to be loaded . According to some reports, users can wait up to 10 seconds to see everything appearing after opening a file for the first time.
One of the messages of this hub observe: “Windows 11 File Explorer has been the slowest since I started using Windows in the early 90s. I was very excited to finally have a multi-TAB explorer, but It’s so slow. The opening of new tabs or new explores windows does not accelerate. I have to look at the navigation pane, then the ribbon, then the folders, then finally, the tabs appear in slow motion. Regardless of the system specifications. It doesn’t change. The fastest he opens is about 2 seconds. »»
On modern PCs with healthy memory allocation and rapid SSD storage, this type of gap should absolutely not occur.
There is no shortage of evidence regarding the level of frustration that some users live on Reddit either. Like this article by someone who has just gone from a MacBook to a Windows 11 laptop, who complains: “I went from a MacBook Pro to ThinkPad for work and the file explorer is so slow that It drives me crazy. I do not understand why it takes 5 to 10 times more time to open a file, search for a file or to literally do anything. »»
Or what would you say about this comment observing that the file explorer has the bad habit of crashing with a certain regularity when you work with tabs (and that the contextual right click is slow to appear initially). Other file explorer reports crash on Reddit, and General Jankiness around this part of the interface, are not really difficult to find.
Analysis: Castioles in progress for too long
To be just towards Microsoft, the deep cause of some of these reports may not be in the file explorer, but perhaps this could be due to certain configurations of Windows 11, or to sick equipment that has exceeded its Sale and refreshes in one way or another.
But as Windows underlines it, there are so much equipment on the feedback center that it is clear enough that Microsoft has an additional job to do to do a queue to perform better.
Given that it is undoubtedly the central cog of the Windows 11 interface – these are the files and the folders that you work on the office probably on a daily basis – this is not part of the operating system that should be sub efficient for what seems to be a number of users.
After all, Windows 11 has existed for a long time now, much more than three years at this stage, and File Explorer has not yet been fully shaped, at least these recent comments. Indeed, Microsoft has sometimes taken steps back, especially with the latest Windows 11 24H2 update which has approximately broke the file explorer for certain people (or it is the claim).
It has long been expected that File Explorer has become more reliable under Windows 11 – which, after all, is supposed to be an upgrade of Windows 10, which does not suffer from the same explorer misfortunes – and Microsoft must concentrate more resources On obtaining these persistent performance -Bogues linked to sorted.
