The problem is I sometimes have to. It slows DO down and sometimes (nearly) freezes DO.
Besides the advice to disable some shell extensions the other advice is to disable columns that have to read folder/file info. Like in this old post. It was the first I could find but I know there are also recent posts about this subject. I saw one last week where the same advice was given: disable those columns.
I never had so much trouble with it. It all started with version 12.4.4. Then the problem also arose that when searching in directories with many files DO completely froze. I'm using 12.5.1 now but it still feels more sluggish than before.
