Should just use Linux, tbh.

    It doesn’t. I bought it with a company credit card and I don’t let IT touch it. I gotta do a lot of stuff in the field so I don’t have time to call IT every time I need to install a software update update.

    The File Explorer behavior is something I’ve been noticing lately. I do have a number of cloud accounts connected for work, 2 One Drive, 1 dropbox, with a shit ton of files and folders (most not sync’d locally) and I wonder if File Explorer is looking through those when it opens.

      Probably the cloud syncing then. That’s always something that hurts performance. It would take investigating to find out what exactly is doing it.

      Note: I’ve used OneDrive, Dropbox, and Nextcloud, and historically, all these services take up a good chunk of resources… Windows, Mac, Linux, you name it. I’ve tried it on them all.

        Absolutely something related to Cloud drives and it trying to load something on slow bandwidth connections.
        If my network drive at home is not connected windows becomes a slow behemoth. Connect the drive back and dayum it’s fast.
