Very odd explorer issue #249

Closed TheToolGuy closed 5 years ago

TheToolGuy commented 5 years ago

I've tested this on 4 different machines (fresh installed Windows 10 Professional x64) and every single time I use even the default script settings, explorer acts weird.

Right mouse button menu navigating to New takes about 15 to 30 seconds to open the submenu for creating folders, new documents etc... Could not find why it takes so long ...

All machines have SSD only and 8Gb ram or more. I can't imagine I'm the only one with this weird behavior after running this.

Before running this, it's snappy.

If you are on 1903 update you can run Windows 10 sandbox to test the script. Just comment out all lines and uncomment one by one until you find the one that brings the issue. Also I have seen many complaints about lagging context menu in explorer on Windows10 subreddit - you can try to find extra information there.

Can't reproduce on any of my VMs.

  1. Which version/build do you use? 1903 or still 1809? Are those installation fully up-to-date? This was a known issue, but should have been fixed by KB4482887.
  2. Do you have any extra items in the menu besides the defaults? (Folder, Shortcut, BMP, RTF, TXT, ZIP)
  3. If you create a new user account, does it happen there too?
  4. Do you use any shell extensions, 3rd party shell customizations or other tweaking tools?

  1. It's on a Clean Windows 10 Pro x64 installation on all 4 different hardware machines. Tested and found on build 1809 and build 1903, all ms hotfixes applied.
  2. Only the defaults when you install a Clean Windows 10 Pro x64 OS.
  3. Yes. So it looks like an HKLM setting.
  4. As stated above, it happens on a clean, fresh installed machine.

But I will try Endark's tip to get to the culprit, but that will take some time to complete... ("Just comment out all lines and uncomment one by one until you find the one that brings the issue.")

nb. I use VMWare Workstation for vm's, and it happens there also. Don't know about Hyper-V.

Procedure I use for a fresh installation on vm's or hardware:

Oke, first things first ...

I used version 3.2, which has this odd behavior. (From that moment on.)

I tested all possible settings of version 3.7 (This latest one) and it's fast on the Desktop (creating a folder), but still slow on the hard drives. All my HDD are Samsung 850 Evo SSD ... It's slow even on formatted SSD ...

There's something between the chair and the keyboard .. How do you execute the script ? By running the cmdlet individually or making your preset and executing it ?

I also have a W10 Pro x64 with 850 Evo SSD (plus a M2 one and a SSHD) and i never have this issue, 3.2 or 3.7.

entdark commented 5 years ago

Why don't you just enable every line in the script one by one as I advised before and finally find it out? You could have already done that.

@TheToolGuy Any update on your issue mate ?

TheToolGuy commented 5 years ago

Yes,

It seams to be working now, I reinstalled Windows and first thing I did was running this.

The problem is not there so it must be other software that does this...

But I have until now, no clue which software this problem creates.

Conclusion: There is nothing wrong with the scripts.
