In Windows 10, File Explorer is very slow to respond when I press Win + E to open it.

When I press the Win + E shortcut to open File Explorer, I have to wait more than 5 seconds for the window to appear, though the system doesn't seem to lag noticeably during that time.

I tried resetting Folder Options and clearing the File Explorer history, but the problem persists—it's especially noticeable when there are many mapped network drives.
