Directory Load Slow with Classic Shell

[johnywhy]

hi

 

Opening directory menus in Class Shell Start Menu is very slow. Have to wait a long time for directory list to load.

Hello @johnywhy,

Welcome!

1. Is ‘opening directory menus in Classic Shell Start Menu very slow” if KAVF is paused?
2. What is the KAVF version & patch?
3. What is the Windows operating system version & build?
4. Run a GSI & Windows Logs & post back?

Please let us know?

Thank you🙏

1. Run a GSI & Windows Logs & post back?

 

I’d be happy to, but i’m getting an error on the page you shared:

“Error 500 (internal server error)
We’re working on fixing the issue. Please try again later.”

@johnywhy If you suspect that Kaspersky is slowing down Classic Shell please try to create an exclusion rule :

Kaspersky > Settings > Additional > Threats and Exclusions > Manage exclusions > Add …..

Report attached. 

The problem has gone away. I’m guessing the menu has become cached. 

I have a very low-resource machine, so i have turned off Kaspersky email and web checks. In the past, i have noticed email and web performance suffers from anti-virus checks (maybe with Kaspersky, maybe other products). Some anti-virus makes file explorer slow. 

i need minimal protection, maximum performance. Can you recommend the best configuration of Kaspersky for minimal protection and maximum performance?

Here’s what i see.

@johnywhy

Here is your GSI Link that is showing quite a lot of Errors in your Windows Event Log

You can easily configure the  “Security Level” from the several protection modules and chose for High - Recommended - Low.   Selecting  “Low”  provides a higher performance but  a minimum protection. Disabling your protection layers as showed above is not really  recommended !

thx for the info. It seems that my mouse is laggy when i’m downloading or installing things. Scrolling PDF’s in Chrome browser is also laggy.
