Ths workaround listed earlier in this thread was working for me until last week when after an update things slowed right down again. After a support call to Office 365 they said they couldn't help me and I had to contact Windows support. I had the unfortunate experience of contacting MS Windows support today. They were totally useless. They suggested using File Explorer full screen (I have and it doesn't fix the issue) and then to downgrade to Win 10, even though I am past the 14 days cut off period. the guy didn't even understand my issue which I had explained at the start of the chat was an issue with File Explorer. He then suggested I change my browser to Chrome. At that point I realised he had no idea. MS is totally useless. This thread was initiated 6 months ago and there is still no fix.

Yes, they are. Windows 11 update shall be paused. For business, it's causing major issues. The fixes have been working, then not been needed as MS fix that, and with another Windows/OneDrive update is back again. I stick with Files (https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/files-modern-file-manager/9nghp3dx8hdx?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) for now, despite that is performance is not the best, but better than when struggling with OneDrive in File Explorer.

Thx for sharing the tip on Files. I just installed it and it is lightening fast. Will use this since the other options suggested by MS (reinstall Win 11, revert back to Win 10) are not appropriate.

  Glad that is working for you. In experimental Settings of this app you can set it as default File Explorer, this will overwrite system one on every window.

    Hi all,
    I had this issue for weeks and weeks, and tested a lot of bypasses... reinstall... Nothing worked really. Yesterday I received a W11 update that has fixed the issue. It works now for my PC, not as fast as W10 was, but almost. So good news for me !
