Issue: Slow Launch of Directory Opus When Double-Clicking Folders or "My Computer"

Help & Support
1

Most of the time, Directory Opus responds quickly when opening folders. However, in certain cases, it takes 3-5 seconds to open a folder or "My Computer" after double-clicking. This issue doesn't occur frequently but happens occasionally. Restarting Directory Opus resolves the issue temporarily.

Are there any ways to log or debug when this issue occurs, such as using debug logs?
I have recorded an AVI video demonstrating the issue for your review.

My version:
Directory Opus 13.11 Build 9081 x64
OS 10.0 (B:22621 P:2 T:1) SP 0.0

This issue also occurs in older versions.

Do you have harddrives that spin down and take a few seconds to spin back up?

I am using an SSD, the Samsung 990 PRO, and do not have any mechanical hard drives.

For Win-E to open the window instantly but folder double-clicks to take a long time, the issue is probably something that's happening before Opus is actually asked to open the window (since we can see that's really fast when it happens via Win-E, for the same folder).

If you turn off Explorer Replacement and double-click a folder, does File Explorer open with a similar delay?

Have you tried disabling your antivirus scanner to see if that's getting involved?

Is anything else installed that gets involved in folder double-clicks, or double-clicks generally (other than regular association of a file type with a program that opens it)?
