Now opening any folder is lightning fast with no scan and sorting by name, type, size, or date modified is just as quick. The reference that solved the issue is quite old, but still seems to be an issue (and the fix).īefore this I had tried rebooting several times, cleaning out shortcuts, sfc, dsim, and several other things that did not have any effect. I would recommend doing this at the Drive level folder, and then go back and customize folder such as Pictures, Music, and Videos.

This immediately brought my problem folders to life and everything worked normally.

If you’d rather have File Explorer open to This PC, go to the View tab and then select Options. I just ran into this problem for the umpteenth time, and I definitely found the fix for this iteration. By default, File Explorer opens to Quick Access.
