Onedrive issues on Windows 11
I have updated my windows to 11 (build 22000.132) and I am experiencing an issue on OneDrive. When I open the file explorer and click on the OneDrive folders, it takes long time to open my folders an...
The solution described here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/onedrive-issues-on-windows-11/m-p/2914024/highlight/true#M1113) worked for me (turning off OneDrive and turning back on the first run), however, there are other factors that may take to consideration.

Also worth restoring the old view of File Explorer known from Windows 10 (1) and the old layout of the context menu (2) which will improve speed altogether.

You can translate the page or just download two registry files that need to be run to add changes. Then reboot the computer and see if that help.

Yes I installed the .bat file and no difference. I'm not fond of installing registry settings that are not documented. The only temporary workaround is to use File Explorer full-screen. That works as fast as it should normally do, but it is far from ideal because I usually move files around between 2 or more instances of File Explorer, so even this workaround is slow from a productivity point of view.
- Up to you. Search over internet for "{e2bf9676-5f8f-435c-97eb-11607a5bedf7}" and "{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" and you will find it, that its well documented.
