Recently, my windows explorer is really slow whereby a green loading bar is visible for a long time.
I tried multiple options such as:
- a refresh via the task manager
- rebuilding index
- clear explorer history (+launching folder windows in a separate process)
- uncheck “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”
- msconfig > uncheck “Windows Search” (this option is not visible anymore in my System Configuration either)
but none of these options work. As a result of this problem, I cannot create new folders or whatsoever as the explorer seems to freeze.
I wonder what other steps can be taken to fix this loading problem.
