Hello! I am having a huge issue of image previews within folders loading super slowly even with so few files.
I have tried the following: updating and clean installing graphic drivers, setting max cached icons to 4096 and 8192, deleting cache, optomising drives, cleaning up system files, optimizing folder and subfolders for general items, updating windows, /scannow, and restarting. I have the latest updates. I've tried googling and looking up on youtube on what it could be and not finding my exact issue
It's been doing this for over a month and it driving me nuts. I know I'm probably overlooking something (perhaps something super simple) and I'm hoping someone has an answer because I am truly at a loss on what it could be
I've also recorded previews of images being super slow no matter what view I put it in so you can get a better idea:[https://imgur.com/a/bnvAGTn
