Preload in the RAM is NOT speed up. It’s a give up.
Secret_Wishbone_2009 on
Its funny how searching a file takes so long, it actually goes through all the descriptors in the filetree rather than having a single cache file, really dumb

>Microsoft is reducing the clutter in the context menu by moving actions that are rarely used into sub menus.
Fan-fucking-tastic.

You mean CoPilot is?

How about you let me, the end user set up the context menu?
KnoxKnot on
How about a search function that works.
bytemage on
Launch performance? LMAO
Now, if it would stop expanding the Nav pane that would be nice. Or not start searching until I finished entering the search string …

>The preloading of File Explorer should hopefully mean Microsoft’s file and folder management tool launches faster on systems where performance is constrained. On modern PCs it’s nearly instant, but I’ve certainly witnessed it load slower on less powerful devices like Windows handhelds and tablets.
Nah, this is some gaslighting shit. Explorer is a bloated, laggy mess even on top end PCs.
Pafolo on
Can they just give us windows 7 back.
ishamm on
I genuinely do not understand why File Explorer lags incredibly on my pc that can play AAA games in 4k with good FPS.
What’s going on here. 😄

They are moving actions I need where I can’t find them.
They need to stop doing that.
They might add some functions to customise the menue if they feel the need to mess with things.
I just hope I won’t have to mess with Registry again like I had to get full „Run as…“ back into the context menue.
At least they managed to put AI into the context menue I am sure that was a hotly requested function.

Just remaster Windows 7.

oh boy.. i don’t even use the default file explorer anymore, that’s how much they messed things up. i really don’t think microsoft does anything anymore. every day it feels like i’m fighting the operating system. i can write a trilogy on all the things wrong with windows 11, and they’ve been doing this for almost 40 years.
usmannaeem on
Thankfully tools will be available to revert it back to its original windows 8/1 states. I like long menues. It gives me confidence and peace of mind that I have tools available installed.

Every file manager in Linux is waaay better than File Explorer.
lakewoodjoe112 on
The metro file explorer is extremely buggy. I hate how clicking into the address bar to manually enter a location doesn’t automatically hide suggestions after hitting enter. It’s been like that since launch.
Extremely slow and unreliable search, even when indexed. Timeouts on remote connections with zero indication until you receive the 10x popups minutes later that it can’t connect
Spideycloned on
Are they speeding it up or are they fixing it because it’s currently fucking broken?
Does win 11 do that thing where windows explorer doesn’t let you sort search results, and truncates file names, because that’s exactly the behavior you want when searching for something specific?
Mighty_McBosh on
did they hire all the seniors back to fix the vibe-coded mess that Windows has become?
fired up my windows boot for the first time in 6 months and it has proceeded to shit the bed in ways yet unknown to science.
It’s got a fresh install on it that’s 3 days old and it already has completely fucked itself into some circular dependency that will likely require YET ANOTHER a wipe and reinstall.
I didn’t even do anything except install steam and log into the Xbox app for game pass, and now my accounts are screwed up and it broke my activation (tied to my microsoft account).
So now I can’t change my audio devices or background, my game pass that I’m paying money for doesn’t work, and people still have the balls to say ‚LiNuX tAkEs ToO MuCh WoRk‘

Could they also fix the address bar so explorer doesn’t just give up when you’ve entered two or three different remote unc paths into the same tab?

After using Linux for the first time, full time, in maybe 20 years, i understand why some people Linux just works better.
File exporer on Windows is garbage

If I want to rotate an image, I’m not going to look for that under „Manage file“
Way to make sure your lesser used options stay lesser used
Moontoya on
Group by is a fucking frustrating concept
I want to see files by size/name/date
I DONT fucking need them grouped by today/yesterday/last week as well
GAHHHHHH
octophobic on
the race is on with my workplace then because they will do everything they can to make it continue to run dog shit slow… like an entirely basic operations of creating a folder, copying a file can take literally 30 seconds EACH TIME. I’ve gone into cmd/cli to get shit done because it’s just faster and that is completely ridiculous to me.
it’s to the point where if I want to move some files around I just leave them there – not like search is going to find it anyway they’re just left for dead
I have so many new folder new folder(1) new folder(2) etc because even that kind of operation just takes forever
Ekgladiator on
On one hand, tabs are a game changer in Windows 11 and honestly an improvement. On the other hand…. I have hated how laggy it feels at times. If they can improve the performance, that is a bonus.
phylter99 on
But they spent all kinds of money and time cluttering it up.
On a serious note, I do like the changes they’re making. Probably 90% of the time I only need a few option and those are what is presented to me all the time. For the other things I just need an extra click and it’s not a problem for me. it saves me having to scroll down and find the right ones.
Shoddy-Pie-5816 on
I just swapped to fedora and wanna know what isn’t a problem?
VincentNacon on
**Translation:** They’re going to fuck it up more.
Alternative-Web-3545 on
Why was t fucked up in the first place. Like it was ok. Leave it. Don’t change things just for the sake of changing. Change things when it’s really an improvement
A_Harmless_Fly on
Our screens keep getting bigger, and yet we need to hide things under more and more clicks and nested sub menus?
It was annoying enough when they started with the pictograms above the actual list. For awhile they just had the picture and no words, I was looking for rename for so long I had to look it up.
Timendainum on
Does anyone still care what Microsoft does with Windows?
Just leave it behind, steam has enabled you.
StrictLeading9261 on
Microsoft must be thinking adding some agentic features would be great addition
Craigg75 on
I’ve started using Ubuntu. I do not miss the mess that Windows has become. Boots super fast. Can run my entire dev environment on 8 GB of ram with plenty to spare. Windows requires minimum of 28 GB to run the same. Plus the constant Copilot BS popping up. My god can’t they take a hint that nobody wants it and make it an optional thing?
royalpro on
„decluttering“ AKA removing useful features.
lathamb_98 on
Well now I have to make two clicks to copy something instead of one. That is the opposite of speeding up.
luckandpreparation on
I’m betting they’re declutterring so that the ads load in smoother later on
