CTOnews.com Sept. 5, netizen Vivy posted a post on the X (Twitter) platform, saying that he had found a way to significantly accelerate the running speed of the file manager of the Win11 system.

He said the steps are as follows: open File Explorer, press F11 to switch to full-screen mode, and then press F11 to exit full-screen mode. He said that after operating in this way, it can significantly shorten the time to generate thumbnails in the folder, and that the search function is more sensitive and faster after this operation.

CTOnews.com attached a netizen's measured feedback:

I have 1800 subfolders and more than 25000 music files, and everything starts instantly after this, which is really great.

Another user commented:

I ran Win11 22H2 on the i7-7700HQ processor to test it, and it worked. I can't believe the file manager has become so efficient. Now, I don't know whether I should be happy or bored.

According to foreign technology media NeoWin, starting from the Win11 22000 version, basically all Win11 should be able to speed up the file manager experience by turning on and off full screen mode.
