Every once in a while, certain operations on my PC slows down. Right-clicking on an image on a browser and hitting 'Save as' may take three to five seconds before the Save window pops up, when at its fastest it takes less than a second, for example.
I've been getting around this by restarting Windows Explorer in the Task Manager, and it works perfectly. I'm not looking for a better way to fix this, but I am curious to know why exactly these operations slow down, and what exactly happens 'under the hood' when I restart Windows Explorer manually.
