It makes explorer freeze when right clicking sometimes
That’s just the beauty of the new context menu. OneDrive or not, it just freezes sometimes.
moving files is slow
Huh? Moving files happens locally, on your drive.
I can’t create a new folder and name it at the same time because it interrupts the process, so I create new folder, it takes over, then I have to manually rename it from new folder
I’m still on Win10 and in general the context menu loads reasonably fast for me.
But even in WinXP if you had broken registry values it would cause the context menu to load really slowly.
Yeah, when I move files locally, on the same volume. It’s real fun watching my Explorer hang when moving files, I have a few hundred thousand files in OneDrive and however they’re indexing and tracking them is pretty fucked. And no, it’s not the disks.
I gotta be honest, man - it seems like something’s fucked with your OS.
Moving files locally has nothing to do with OneDrive. Once you move the files within a OneDrive-synced folder, the service will just update their location info and re-sync them. It doesn’t “desync -> move -> sync”, it’s literally a local move.
Have you tried moving similar amounts of data in non-synced folders?
Yup, only happens in folders that are synced, I actually reinstalled Windows specifically because of the issues I was seeing.
I don’t know what exactly it’s doing but it annoys the shit out of me. I should probably use process Explorer or something to check what is going on but I’m too lazy.
I moved some pictures a little earlier and it did it again.

That’s true, this bit is infuriating.

I’m so done with Microsoft.

Did you run any “debloaters” or such after the reinstall?
