If that solves the problem, be sure to add the removed folders to the Quick access list once again.
Solution 3 – Change folder optimization
Windows 10 frequently performs optimization in the background and that can cause File Explorer to be slow.

According to users, you can circumvent this problem simply by using the File Explorer shortcut because it seems issues occur only if you start it by clicking its icon.
However, you can start File Explorer by pressing Windows Key + E on your keyboard.
After doing that, File Explorer will start and it will work without any problems. Keep in mind that this isn’t a permanent solution, however.

It offers you a plethora of options and features that are very useful when you manage your files. We have tested it on Windows 1o computers and it works really slow even on a low-spec PC.
