Slow access to recent images.
Win10pro
When accessing a folder I get a green line crawling along the top of the screen that often takes a good minute to go from left to right. This never happened before. Can this be switched off? |

The next time, check the thumbnail databases. Open the folder with the thumbnail databases in it first, then open your personal folder and watch as the thumbnailer does a traverse through the directory. Then see if the thumbnail databases changed in size or not. That's a quick way to confirm what it is. At one time, I thought that was some kind of "TakeOwn" traversal, but now my theory is that it's a thumbnail run. You can track it down for us... You should be an expert on that thumbnail issue by now. We've had a few discussions about this in the past. (Specifically, Adobe PDF thumbnails, the slowest thumbnail flavor of all.) When the thumbnailer runs, of course Windows Defender has to scan each of those files as well. And if you're not careful, each time the thumbernail database file is updated, it should trigger the Search Indexer to reindex the file. In football, we call this "piling on", in an attempt to crush the player at the bottom of the heap. Paul |

Windows is examining the files in the folder and creating appropriate icons and/or thumbnails for display. This is a one time process, unless you use CCleaner or disk cleanup to remove thumbnails, in which case they will be created again next time you view the folder. I don't use any cleaners like that, and it *still* happens to me. When I see the green line, I head to the kitchen to make coffee :-) The time is not wasted. There's a lot of pots of coffee though.

Paul I'm not sure, but I believe that the green line also occurs if you are doing a search and the drive is not part of the Windows indexing process. I would suggest that you hit the search icon and search for 'indexing options'. Usually the default is only the C:\ drive. If you have any other drives add them to the list of drives to be indexed. If you don't have any other drives you might want to check to see if Windows Indexing is turned on. Some people believe that turning it off makes their system more responsive. |

But when you're just opening a folder, the thing is not doing a search. It has no reason to traverse the folder. It could be a thumbnail thing. it could be a perverse attempt at mspmeng doing a scan of the folder tree. Using ProcMon might tell you, which of those possibilities is most likely. Paul |

The same green line can occur opening a network shared folder drive. -- ....w¡ñ§±¤ñ msft mvp 2007-2016, insider mvp 2016-2018 |
