Very slow to load Downloads folder in Windows 10

Hi.

As I mentioned this is a clean install. Respectfully, why this matters?

Clearly this is a product issue as there are many people experiencing this. Is MS doing something to fix this?

Thank you

Jiri

Same question - I have 10 files in the folder. I close it, open it, it scans for 20+ seconds before showing the 10 files. What is going on ?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your reply and updating on the status.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists in Safe Mode.

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10

If the issue does not persist, then suggest you to perform a Clean Boot. A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

* Place the computer in a Clean Boot and check if the issue is occurring due to any third party programs.

Dear MS Support,

In my humble opinion these kind of suggestions are not helpful!

Thank you.

I completely agree - not helpful at all.

I suggest you to run the System Maintenance troubleshooter by following the steps below and check if it helps.

Hi EKEeshwar.

I really appreciate the effort, but please get some more senior help. There "robot" type of answers are not helpful. We need to debug this issue if we want to know what the problem is.

Is there anyone in MS team who can help us to debug this problem?

Thanks
