Bug in Windows 11 allows you to speed up the "Explorer"

Windows 11 users have discovered a funny bug that benefits older computers. Two keystrokes can greatly improve program performance, make icons appear instantly, and improve search performance.

Activating this bug is simple: you need to press F11 twice to enter full screen mode, and then exit it. Done: File Explorer is now much more responsive. The improvement is valid only within one session: when you open Explorer again, the procedure will have to be repeated.

This random function discovered user X (ex-Twitter) under the nickname Vivy. Then her checked users on Reddit and confirmed that it actually works. It is noted that the life hack is suitable for any release of Windows 11 - from the starter to the current Canary beta preview.

“I tested it on the music folder, which has over 1,800 subfolders and over 25,000 files. Everything opens instantly, just a delight. This is the level of performance that was in "Explorer" Windows 7. Perhaps all the problems with the work of "Explorer" were actually caused by the dumbest bug that appeared because of some one great Microsoft developer, which in the end was not corrected for 2 years, ”-

The comments on Reddit also expressed the hope that now Microsoft might pay attention to problems with the performance of "Explorer" and will fix them by the release of 23H2 (although it is believed, of course, with labor).
