Good. There wasn't much that needed changing anyway, it was nearly perfect as-is.

MS hate aside, Windows 11 Explorer is a thing of beauty.

The Windows 11 Explorer is also buggy as shit. They still haven't solved the issue where folders within the Download folder randomly enable grouping again. Or you know, where you could click on the address bar and see the full path to the download folder, instead you see the word Download. Great fucking Job. They butchered the W10 explorer, painted it gold, and tapped themselves on the shoulder.

Well, and added tabs, which is really the best part.

Quite fast. Faster than the current explorer.

Resources ... Okay. What truly comes as a shock is the fact that Microsoft says they don't have expertise to continue this project. I mean, who is building Windows then? It's the same building blocks, no?!

they don't have the expertise? oh right, since it takes 10 seconds to load a right click context menu on the desktop in w11, no wonder /s

dboreham · 2025-04-22T21:05:37 1745355937

Only about 1s here. Wasn't the 10 second thing because it was looking for a now-absent floppy drive?

It depends on how many shell extensions you have installed. How something so basic can drag a supercomputer to its knees is puzzling but MS never fails to deliver.

One wonders if it would be possible to invoke those extensions asynchronously and put a little "loading" icon where any new shell items might appear. Or have a hard 2s timeout after which any latecomers get shoved behind another layer of menus.

kevin_thibedeau · 2025-04-22T21:27:27 1745357247

They'd probably implement that by launching a new Electron process to keep up with the times.

lifeisgood99 · 2025-04-22T21:21:11 1745356871

The simplest explanation would be that those shell extensions have poor performance.
