Edge painfully slow to load save file and download dialog box

Hello having issues last few days with dialog box appearing super slow when saving images or any file. No issues in Firefox or Chrome, cleared all my data, cookies, cache. Thanks

ratchetsup Interesting that you are posting this. I am having the exact same problem with image and program downloads. It started exactly yesterday. Right-clicking "Save As" (Desktop, Documents, whatever folder) results in a LONG delay of around 10 seconds. I have:

1) Scanned For Malware or Viruses.

2) Used SFC and CHKDSK with no errors reported.

3)Tried various options like restarting File Explorer as detailed here No success https://windowsreport.com/file-explorer-slow-windows-10/

4) Threw in that towel and reset the PC (using Recovery option to keep files, folders, and settings) and reinstalled programs one by one STILL have the same problem. Checked my SSD drive and no bad clusters.

5) This occurred in both EDGE and Google Chrome. Any forthcoming solutions appreciated.
