Has Groupy slowed down your Explorer on Win10 network drives too ?

from Stardock Forums

I've had some really laggy behavior on my network drives in Explorer in the past week or so.

Its takes sometimes 20 seconds to rename a file for example.   Another client on the same network without Groupy is very quick.

I turned Groupy off and my Explorer started working quickly again.   

Either Groupy is causing this extreme slowness in Explorer on network drive, or its a big coincidence.

Anyone else?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system and issue.

  1. Your Windows version numbers. Please use Winver.exe.
  2. Groupy versions.
  3. Lagging only on network drive folder and file? Local folder and file no issue?
  4. Any other relevant information on this issue?

Thanks
