Win8/Win8.1 open folder slow no response reason analysis and solution

For Win8/Win8.1 open folder is slow, open the folder no response problem, I believe that many users have a headache. This phenomenon is mainly caused by a large number of executable programs stored in this folder. Analysis of the Cause If the third-party protection software is not installed on the computer, the Windows Defender that comes with the Win8/Win8.1 system is enabled by default. This results in a large amount of system resources being used when scanning files and causing slow opening of the folder, and no response for half a day; Windows Defender should automatically shut down if other protection software is installed.

Or press “Windows+Q” combination, enter “Windows Defender” in the pop-up search box to find and open the Windows Defender interface. Open Windows Defender, click “Set ”→“Real-time protection", “ enable real-time protection (recommended)> remove the checkmark and save the changes.

Exceptions, you can also set “excluded file types”, enter “exe” in the "file extension" box, multiple extensions separated by semicolons, and then click “ ”→“Save Changes”. Of course, the exclusion of settings is that you need to know that the programs you have are harmless. Solution 2: Close the index and increase the response rate Right-click the target folder and select “Properties", click the “Advanced” button at the bottom right of the “General" tab, and cancel in the pop-up dialog box. In addition to the file attributes, it is also allowed to index the contents of this drive file & rdquo; in front of the check mark. Check "Scalize content to save disk space" and click “OK”.
