Onedrive issues on Windows 11
There's something weird with how the OS and OneDrive interact here. My OS is on a super fast NVM SSD and my OneDrive is on a data drive, which is a 7200 RPM HDD and whatever it is is locking up the entire filesystem when OneDrive is active in any way which is horribly noticeable on my machine where everything suddenly drops to HDD speed.
@Ed Dablin 19th May 2022, Windows 11 Pro, Version 21H2, Build 22000.675 and this problem still persists... I have a 32 GB RAM Core i9 running a 2080 RTX video card and OneDrive sync folders running on a fast SSD drive make Windows Explorer unusable even with this much horsepower. If it also affecting all Surface Books, Surface Pro 6s and Pro 7s in my company (10 units in total), all core i7 with 8GB-32GB RAM and also on the latest build. Everyone here thinks Windows 11 is awful as a result. I've had to apply numerous registry hacks to revert the old Windows 10 Explorer ribbon and the right click context menu which makes it better but on the odd occasion, (2-3 times per week), the problem reappears until reboot. Also, renaming a file in any of these folders is a right PITA as you get part way through typing and the blue circle of death appears and resets the cursor to the start of the filename and selects it all so you end up overtyping what you just typed. The experience really is atrocious, especially as it's been going on for so long.
Any MS moderators willing to comment on this?
