I concur. I handle video files on a SSD, it can take 2-3 seconds to just view a folder with one file inside. All I want is the file name and an icon but apparently in 2019 this is an Herculean tasks.
I really wish we could turn off what appears to be a deep scan of all the files every time one opens a directory in Windows 10. I just need to see the filenames to do what I want 99% of the time.
"This folder contains a single .wav file. I'll automatically switch over to an artist / album / etc view, and hide all the details you normally see"
