Windows 11 File Explorer performance lags behind Windows 10 despite preload feature

adrenaline.com.br (Portuguese)

Windows 11's File Explorer remains slower than Windows 10, even with preloading. Microsoft's preload feature, intended to speed up File Explorer, has shown minimal improvement in usability tests. While it slightly aids opening the app, navigation and contextual menus are still sluggish compared to Windows 10. The slower performance in Windows 11 is attributed to its modern WinUI/XAML interface, which is more resource-intensive than Windows 10's Win32 UI.
