Indeed. For multiple reasons:

- it is not at all surprising that when you remove cruft, code performs batter

- it is not at all surprising that this is not common enough amongst software engineers to even consider these things (competing business interests probably cause this often)

Not being connected to the work VPN already slows down my Windows to a near halt since a few unreachable network drives is all it takes to make Explorer go unresponsive.

Seems like engineers forget to test these things nowadays.

If by ”nowadays” you mean the past 30 years. Slow network drives making Explorer go completely unresponsive has been a thing since Windows 95.

I’m more surprised to hear that bug still hasn’t been fixed. Luckily I don’t use Windows myself since many years ago.
