  2. Input the keyword Registry Editor in the search box.
  3. Select Registry Editor to open its window.
  4. Next, browse to this registry key location:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions
  5. Right-click Shell Extensions to select New, then Key.

As restoring the old File Explorer removes the command bar, this might be another potential resolution for fixing the lag. However, it’s more of a workaround than a solution for users who prefer Windows 11’s revamped File Explorer.
