    10+ seconds? Either Windows 11 really happen to have some serious bug that caused it on your machine particularly, or more likely, it's not really about 10 vs 11.

    Are you using OneDrive or some other cloud storage on the new machine? Do you have a Quick Access link which is to a network share/path somewhere other than on the local machine? Commented Nov 8, 2023 at 8:23
  • Tom and Richie, it's OneDrive making it slow... which is also on my Windows 10 machine. There is no networking happening on either.
