Microsoft improves the performance of File Explorer in Windows 11

The improvement brought by the latest development version is that Microsoft is trying to index more locations. By default, the indexing service will only index a few specific locations to help users find them. Adding more index locations will bring more folders and files into the index database, allowing File Explorer to return results faster when users are looking for files. The indexing service is relatively very important, whether the search box in the File Explorer, the search box in the taskbar, or even the start menu search uses the index. Therefore, after expanding the scope of the index, the search results can be obtained faster through the compiled database, and users can also avoid waiting for a long time for each search. The specific indexed content can also be adjusted by the user in the settings. Of course, the more the index position is, the longer the indexing time will be, and you can operate it when you are free.
