file explorer

Recently got a new PC after the old one went kaput. I purchased this RAM knowing I'd have to enable the overclock profile included to get the full performance. I booted Windows 11 without the profile enabled for a few days just fine. Went to enable it today and booted into Windows 11 just fine...

I've a 2nd HHD in my PC, and have kept my music files on there due to the size of the folder. I recently upgraded my main drive to 2Tb (from 1Tb), and now have space on there for my music. As the 2nd drive is an HDD and the main one is an SSD, I'm hoping this will make read times a bit better...

Hi Is anyone aware of any feature in Windows 11, or a tool, that gives more options in File Explorer? That's the one aspect of Windows 11 I don't like. Windows 10 has loads of options and tabs at the top. The View tab (I think) allows you to check a tickbox to unhide hidden files/folders and...

I recently decided that I should move my user files from my 250 GB SSD to my 2 TB HDD in order to make more efficient use of my space. I had already done this with my Pictures folder a few years ago. I followed a guide on YouTube in order to perform the relocation. After right-clicking on the...

For unknown reasons, yesterday I lost all customizations I had done to make File Explorer in Windows 10 look and behave like Windows 7. One change I can't get rid of is that everything in the navigation pane turns into a blue underlined link when you hover over it. Any way to get rid of that...

So I am trying to copy some video clips from an SSD to a RAID5 array on Win 10 about 15Gb. The copying starts out well at about 350Mb/sec then after about 30sec the speed drops to a puny 1.5 Mb/s or 2 at most. Can this be an SSD or a RAID5 array issue? How can I test this? Thanks! Gabster
