Do you experience issues with folders that include audio or video files?
Attempted to switch to list view, but the default setting is "Tiles". It loads quickly now, though only one thumbnail appears in that folder—specifically the Winamp icon. This suggests the problem isn't related to thumbnails, as it happens across all drives regardless of location.
Date issues often arise in Windows folders, particularly when dealing with numerous files. Removing it can sometimes help, but its effectiveness varies based on your specific requirements. Date Modified and Date Created may also behave differently under certain conditions.
I don't get it. How do you eliminate dates or similar elements? This is the example of what everything looks like on my side.
Using Task Manager, Resource Monitor, etc., is not meant as a solution. The goal is to identify what differs when audio files take longer to read compared to other file types. Or to check if any audio files/folders experience speed or performance issues. What resource(s) might change negatively? For example, another application could be opening or running via a Task Scheduler. Previous suggestions have been considered valuable. Review Reliability History/Monitor for any relevant error codes, warnings, or events linked to the issue. You might find patterns in errors related to opening or reading audio files.
I've already addressed that. It doesn't seem to be working. The software displays no changes except for an increase in processor usage from explorer/indexer. The reliability history also shows nothing, which is why I'm here. I'm running out of ideas and any simple fixes won't help since I've tried everything. I never experienced this issue before—it just appeared suddenly at some point.
I can work with any view, but when I use my preferred one called "Tiles," the issue continues. It doesn’t occur in "List" view, though I’d prefer not to use it. Windows should function smoothly and quickly across all views, particularly with an nvme SSD, especially if it performed well before
These software displays no changes other than an increase in explorer/indexer processor usage.
This raises the question of why.
I would use Process Explorer to identify what modifications are happening.
Start by examining running processes through the List View, even though it isn't necessary.
Next, switch to Tiles view and check for any alterations that might be contributing to the slowdowns.
Compare both methods (List vs Tiles) using different file types and audio files.
The goal is to spot a difference in processor activity related to the file formats being analyzed.
