Slow netwrok drive context menus (right mouse click)

Hi guys,
Really like the work you guys are doing with this program. I am a lifetime subscriber.

A longstanding problem with XYplorer vs Windows filemanager is the speed WRT networked drives.

I use many networked drives at work and a right mouse click on a folder or file results in the context menu appearing after about three seconds. The same right mouse click using filemanger is instant. Three seconds is not too bad you might say but doing this a zillion times a day is tiresome.

I have whitelisted the following in Windows Defender :
XY64.exe
XY64contents.exe
XY64ctxmenu.exe
XYcopy.exe
XYplorer.exe

I have also completely cleaned the context menu of all 3rd party apps by using the third part program "shexview.exe" and "Ecmenu.exe"


Another topic (maybe best for another tread?) is glacial copy and past / move functions with the same networked drives. I have read all of the current threads suggesting many XYplorer options possiblilites but nothing helps. A hundred times a day I have to wait as XYploroer "Not responding" messages during renaming, coping and moving single files. Almost instantaneous with filemanager.

I will post the configuration file if this helps.

Best,
Chris

With Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | [x] Show the 64-bit context menu ticked?
