Pretty much everything related to the explorer.exe process is needlessly slow on Windows 11. On my work machine, the file explorer will take 2-3 seconds to load after I open it, and that's with only a C:/ drive (i.e. no network shares to slow it down or anything else).

Start menu was separated from explorer.exe since 8 or 10, it's called StartMenuExperienceHost.exe nowadays. Taskbar is also a separate process since 11. It also means that they can freeze separately

Pretty good summary of Microsoft's "innovations" the last decade or so
