Thumbnails in Explorer.exe Using Up Significant Memory
It seems that there is an issue with explorer with storing thumbnail cache for folders containing 6k to 8k resolution videos. For context, I keep virtual reality videos in one folder and every single time I open this folder and browse through all other files and sub folders, the memory usage for explorer spikes up. I need help on how to fix this issue. Any workarounds such as storing thumbnail cache on the drive instead of the RAM would help.

After updating to Build 26200.5661, I found two major issues: 1. The desktop icon order is not retained after reboot or shutdown. Every time the system restarts, icons are randomly rearranged. 2. The File Explorer window size is not remembered. It always resets to the default size after closing and reopening. These issues did not occur in the previous build. Expected behavior: - Desktop icons should retain their order and position. - Explorer windows should remember their last size and position
Windows 11 - Explorer forever loading folder or crashing when navigating
Using Evaluation copy. Build 22478.rs__prerelease.211008-1414. When I open explorer, it will show the green progress bar in the address bar/directory bar, it'll keep loading forever without ever showing any files. This happens if I open explorer from my task bar: Alternatively I managed to make a folder on my desktop, I can open this folder, but if I then open a folder which is nested inside this one, explorer crashes / stop responding: This has been present since installing this update, sometimes everything functions perfectly, but it seems to be more of an issue as time goes on. Something else I have noticed, my desktop icons will sometimes fail to load, not sure if this is related to issues with explorer, as this happens in explorer (aswell as thumbnails). Maybe something to do with indexing broken? I don't know, but you'll also notice none of the other 'quick access' / 'this computer' / 'network' are showing in the first screenshot either.
File Explorer should be able to open multiple files of the same type at once
This is a feature that I wish I had almost every day, and the main reason why I end up using my MacBook Pro. I often need to open 30+ PDF files at once, multiple Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign files, even word documents or images at once. As soon as you have more than one file selected in File Explorer, all the 'Open' or 'Open With' options disappear. If this isn't the right forum to make this suggestion, where can I post it? It seems like a fairly obvious feature for a file explorer to have.
