Windows 11 version 23H2 will introduce a redesigned File Explorer with the Gallery feature, improved tab management, modernized UI elements, enhanced OneDrive integration and more.
The update is already available for testing in the Beta Channel, meaning the release is getting nigh. However, there is one big problem with the redesigned File Explorer: performance.
To put it mildly, Windows 11's upcoming File Explorer is... not fast. In fact, users may experience severe performance downgrades even when running the update on supported hardware.
Gustave Monce has shown the struggle of using the new File Explorer on the Surface Go 2 (64GB eMMC, 4GB of RAM, Pentium Gold Y series CPU), Microsoft's cheapest Windows 11-compatible tablet takes 15 seconds to load.
