This was great. Fixed my slow folder. I knew about making this change, but I was doing it at the folder level, which didn't work. Doing it at the drive level worked like a charm.

@sinrob1 Год назад

Thanks for posting this tip. It solved some painfully slow loading issues that were plaguing my video folders.

@UltraVoidPlaysRoblox Год назад

its a nice tutorial! it pretty much works on my hdd!

@OAikoT Год назад

For HDDs also remember to defragment them at least once a month. Especially with some games it helps a lot. Any Sims game is best example too, fragmented HDD can make it literally lag :/

@UltraVoidPlaysRoblox Год назад

@@OAikoT ye i know. i only wanted to see this but, now i switched back from windows 11 until they fix some annoying bugs that i found and, i dont think im the only one that has found them.

@OAikoT Год назад

@@UltraVoidPlaysRoblox What bugs do you have in mind? I switched to Windows 11 few months ago only because the upgrade was free and my Windows 10 was already buggy itself, like search bar literally stopped working.

@UltraVoidPlaysRoblox Год назад

@@OAikoT for example: when i did a splitscreen so i can see both windows it would lag out for a bit then stop lagging and when i moved one of the windows everything was lagging all the way. not like thats normal as i never had that. so i had a reason...

@cmd_f5 Месяц назад

This kinda works, but I think there's Windows Defender tryna scan every file in a folder, esp if you're dealing with applications and installers, that sorta thing. The fans spin up and eventually, my I7 machine loads them/presents the folder. Windows ain't what it used to be, that's for sure.

@brad3706 Год назад

Seems Microsoft wants to end support of 10 as I've met three people who have the same issues, Microsoft refuses to release a patch, and we all intend on switching to Apple or Linux due to sheer frustration: windows began running slow, then either won't shut down or boot. We all dl the latest updates, all are upto date, no malware detected, yet windows 10 won't load. Automatic repair even sits and spins. It's a complete mess. I can't believe they use and abuse their customers with their bugged up software. Never again..... never.

This is why Microsoft Windows suck...the Dev's know this is a common issue but yet with all of the thousands of patches and updates things like this are never resolved. I don't get it, I miss the days of XP.
