The problem was that every time a new directory needed to be created, it took the longest time for the directory to appear. This could also impact deletion, but was not the triggering factor.

It turns out that it’s fekking “Privacy” settings for Quick access.

1. Open File Explorer (Windows + E) and Click on the View tab
2. Click on Options on the right hand side
3. On the General tab
4. Uncheck both Privacy options
   • Show recently used files in Quick access
   • Show recently used folders in Quick access

Hard to refrain from speculating why this is something that just all of a sudden happened and not something that was a problem from the installation.

Of course all patches and upgrades have been applied that was made available, so could the introduced there too. And perhaps it’s not by mistake.

But we digress…

This resolved the issue immediately and seems to noticeably speed things up a bit.
