Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with Windows 11. Whenever I open File Explorer while I’m outside my local network, it becomes unresponsive and can take a minute or more to actually start.
I have two network drives mapped, but even after disconnecting them, the problem still occurs. It seems like File Explorer struggles with network paths or connections when I’m not on my LAN, but I’m not sure why.
Has anyone encountered this before or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
