What you're seeing isn't normal or expected. I'm running Windows Server 2019 on a variety of systems from a modern one to a systems that's 7 years old. Even on my 7 year old system, Explorer is silky smooth. Do yo have anymore info about the system? Make, model, system config etc. thx

    Sure. Configuration as follows:

    - AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

    - 32gb 2400mhz

    - Asus Prime X370 PRO
    - GeForce GTX 1030 (Primary GPU)

    - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (Unused GPU)

    - Samsung 960 Pro 500gb (2x)

    - Western Digital Black 2TB (2x)

     

    The hardware is tested and working correctly with:
    - Windows 10 Enterprise build 16299 (stable)

    - Windows 10 Pro build 17134 and 17655 (insider)

    - Various *nix distros

     

    All drivers installed without problems, nothing else installed except the system itself.

    So, if it's not a common problem, I'll try with a fresh new install of windows asap, cause I can't imagine how troubleshoot this problem.

      Thanks for following up with your configuration. That system looks awesome. Windows Server 2019 should be flying on that system. Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS update for the motherboard and retest with the latest preview build. tx!

        Thank you, I did the best I could with a low budget. Anyway I use it just for testing purposes.

        BIOS it's constantly updated and I always check both the latest RTM and the latest beta available for a piece of software. With Server2006 it works flawlessy. Anyway I use this PC, and Windows Server, just for testing purposes, so it's ok. I have others O.S.es to boot. I'll update this post after a new fresh install.
