    This was great. Fixed my slow folder. I knew about making this change, but I was doing it at the folder level, which didn't work. Doing it at the drive level worked like a charm.

    This kinda works, but I think there's Windows Defender tryna scan every file in a folder, esp if you're dealing with applications and installers, that sorta thing. The fans spin up and eventually, my I7 machine loads them/presents the folder. Windows ain't what it used to be, that's for sure.

    Seems Microsoft wants to end support of 10 as I've met three people who have the same issues, Microsoft refuses to release a patch, and we all intend on switching to Apple or Linux due to sheer frustration: windows began running slow, then either won't shut down or boot. We all dl the latest updates, all are upto date, no malware detected, yet windows 10 won't load. Automatic repair even sits and spins. It's a complete mess. I can't believe they use and abuse their customers with their bugged up software. Never again..... never.
