The reason Windows gets slower and slower is to continue selling PCs. It never gets faster.

just buy a new PC

one that just happens to come with another windows license...

This is a brand-new workstation provided by my job. Apparently, it's a known issue because it does some async network calls that block startup.

Yes, it is slower (but it has gotten better), but now that I have a tabbed explorer, it's really hard to go back to the single-window per dir version.

I'm sure there's a performant 3rd party extension that would fit the bill, but I'm too lazy atm.
