File Explorer slow in Onedrive Folders
Same here. Just started a couple of days ago. After i removed icloud, then uninstalled OneDrive, then rebooted, then reinstalled OneDrive (from MS website ... ie: NOT the MS Store OneDrive app!) everything started opending fine again without the 10-20 second delay everytime I access a folder or file. I did have to wait 10 minutes or so until OneDrive had synced a sufficient number of folders and files, but seems fine now ... exactly as before.
brnsdv I am experiencing the same issue and have uninstalled iCloud and OneDrive, restarted the computer, but this has not fixed the issue. If I uninstall iCloud, this issue goes away. I need to have iCloud installed for contacts and calendars in Outlook, so I need both to co-exist.
I had a similar issue about 6 months ago and one day, it just started to work as expected.
Any insight on what might be causing this would be much appreciated.
Looks like we have different setups.
I use my Microsoft account's email address for Contacts and Calendar. For my email, I use my ISP's email address and added it to Outlook. This way I don't need iCloud at all. iClud is slow and unreliable IMO, and has been that way for years (I have tried to use it for years). I got fed up so I switched to the config I just described. I also use an iPhone and iPad with this config and it works flawlessly for email, Contacts, and Calendar. (A Microsoft tech suggested this approach a couple of years ago and it has fixed all of the issues I had before when I used iCloud in the manner you're describing. There is no reason why Apple and Microsoft really care about having iCloud on a PC work well ... both companies have their own business models and don't want to invest in supporting cross-platform integrations like iCloud.) If you have a paid Microsoft Office subscription then you can talk to a Microsoft rep about getting the same setup as I have. I'll never go back to iCloud ... I've tried and tried and as I said, there is no reason either company wants it to work well.)
