The Windows File Explorer is still so bad when it comes to networked drives — here's why

In certain respects, File Explorer is better on Windows 11. However, it still has problems. For instance, the search feature is still slow and doesn’t always produce the best results. I turn to alternatives like Everything and Listary for a better experience. Another issue facing it that you might not think of is its responsiveness to networked drives.
