File Explorer is slow when traversing files synced with OneDrive
Deleting the subkeys doesn't seem to cause any ill effects for us on AVD. We aren't full prod yet with the workaround, but I've done extensive testing in UAT environment. Are you deleting them when no users are logged on? Maybe that's critical as the logon process recreates the key and enables OneDrive functionality to work?
The registry permissions didn't make a difference in performance for us. The newer OneDrive versions also didn't resolve the issue for us.
As I said, I am in a different context, as we have the same issue but on users' PCs (laptops), with just one user per device. Therefore, I do the manipulations logged on with my account on my PC directly.
I saw many topics and support documents on the Internet regarding the missing OneDrive entries on the contextual menu, but no solution worked for me. For the moment, I can accommodate those missing entries, as long as the explorer is working fast (which used to be the "normal" speed until Windows 11 🙄)
