Windows Explorer does struggle with many files in a directory on a HDD. It doesn't cache the sort order, so opening it with anything other than alphabetical order means waiting 5+ minutes for it to sort them.

Indeed, with Everything I can sort the whole drive faster than WE can a single large folder
