The whole ecosystem sucks power and time close to abusive levels though, so adding this...
Fairly often when I right click on an item I get the spinning blue wheel for 20-40 seconds. Open the shell (installed with git) always 40 seconds spinning wheel. I'm using another soft to get around it.
Yeah I fucking timed it and it is most often 40 (!) seconds. Work PC so I havent installed cryptohacker.exe on it or something. Launch any soft and it crawls from the SSD to main memory.
Just saying many problems stem from the inbuilt unsecurity and hence the crazy checks to "protect you".
Pfff.
Can't confirm the waiting time.
My Ryzen 7800X3D and nvidia 3070 based PC is snappy and quick to respond (if I am not running anything intensive in the background.
My (i believe) i5 8600 in my work laptop (HP Elitebook 850 G5) is not as fast but once everything is up is usually quite responsive (1-2 chrome windows with multiple tabs, Teams, Outlook, OneNote, 2 different Remote Tools and some other programs I happen to run).
I believe you have a slow af or broken SSD that's slowing you down. Better check with something like CrystalDisk.
I have same CPU and GPU, with C: on an M.2 (Read 7200 MB/s - Write 5700 MB/s) and 32GB DDR5. When I right-click my desktop/wallpaper, I have the blue spinning wheel for 3 or 4 seconds before the menu opens 😬
980 Pro 500GB about 25-30% filled.
All programs are outsourced to my secondary drive.
All games are outsourced to my tertiary drive
I run Wallpaper Engine in the back. Even with my backup software running it doesnt load longer than maybe 1sec at best.
Now compressing a 7zip archive will make the CPU sweat and let my system think for maybe a bit more.
I’d reformat if I were you. And perhaps you’d enjoy running ReviOS playbook too 😈
Same here, went through multiple upgrades but even when I had a 3700X and a Vega 64 with 32 GB of RAM and a SN550, it was really snappy.
