Razer Blade 2016 File Explorer Opening Time

Why does it take so long to open File Explorer? Everything else seems fine, but it just takes a bit longer than it should to open it. My 5 year old Aspire S3 (also with an SSD) opens it instantly, yet the Blade takes like a second. I know it's not a huge disaster, but I find myself opening File Explorer quite often, so that gets noticeable.
It's a fresh Win 10 Anniversary install, only 3rd party apps are Chrome, Drive and Spotify.

I know this sounds like whining, but why does a much lower end laptop perform better in an identical scenario?

 

Have you checked your disk usage? That shouldn't be happening.

 

Just did. It was at 0%. Then went up to 2.
CPU usage doesn't go above 20% (usually stays at 1 - 5), memory stays at ~30%.

Huh in that case, I'm not sure what's wrong. That's very weird.

You aren't on like power saver are you?

 

Nope, I'm actually on High Performance. Interestingly enough if I make a shortcut of "My PC" and pin it to taskbar it opens instantly - even tho it's an identical window to the one opened with the File Explorer. I've done a fresh Windows install, and that doesn't change anything.

 

Lol I would just start using that instead then.

 

I was gonna, but that one doesn't have drop down menus for quick access, like Downloads, Documents etc.
Do you have anything like this on your blade?

Edit: just noticed you have the stealth

 

It should not be a hardware issue.
Razer should definitely be faster than your other laptop.

Honestly this will be hard to analyze, did you check the read write speed to see if the ssd is performing well?

And is it only the file explorer? I rarely use it but I guess it could be a win10 optimization issue?

Mine is coming in two days, I could probably run some speed test against yours.

 

I pasted them earlier in my comment, but here are my benchmark results: http://imgur.com/a/BqAH4
It would be really helpful if we could compare our results.

Oh and yes, it seems like it's only happening with File Explorer and only with the opening time. As I noted earlier, if I make a shortcut to My PC it opens instantly from that. But this is a fresh Windows install, identical to that on the Aspire.

 

Ok, I will check with you once I get the machine.
but from the benchmarking, it doesn't look like a ssd issue at all. It must be something else, maybe post your question on a tech support for windows page also.
