According to the latest update, now it’s also confirmed that File Explorer has been sped up with this patch, which should please many users. A few days ago, we reported that Microsoft’s optional patch KB5095093 brought some welcome changes, including a bug fix for slow shutdowns as well as improvements to Bluetooth reliability.
In a fresh development, according to Windows Current, Microsoft has instead reorganized the “Home” tab in a way that boosts performance. The publisher doesn’t provide any specific details, simply stating that the patch “improves the speed and performance of File Explorer when starting.” The boost is gradually rolling out to Windows PCs. This speed improvement isn’t done via preloading (which would run the program automatically in the background, allowing it to “arrival” faster when you want to open it).
In a fresh development, other improvements include better responsiveness when File Explorer is mounting disk images and when changing the case sensitivity in folder views. Furthermore, File Explorer’s address bar should now work more reliably and display suggestions faster.
According to the latest update, in past updates, Microsoft also improved the integrated search function and reduced the time required to print documents and read the contents of storage media.
According to the latest update, until then, the easiest way to install it is via Windows Revision or via the Microsoft Revision Catalog. That won’t be the only goodie coming in that patch, by the way—learn more about fresh Windows functions coming in July. The improved File Explorer is part of June’s optional Windows patch and will be a mandatory Windows 11 patch in July.
