Explorer.exe slow loading

[Maxie94]

Hello. I just got a new PC rig, but I'm having problems with my windows installation, more specifically, the explorer.exe, it takes quite long to completely load, and also, the shutdown takes forever to finish. I narrowed the problem to CPU, mobo or ram. Has anyone had this problem before? I'm open to suggestions to solve this.

please share your specs as this could be an array of different causes

This is my rig right now

i doubt the motherboard has anything to do with it unless you suspect it has physical damage, first thing i'd do is check drivers if you had a very recent update try rolling back to the previous version. if that doesn't fix anything then i'd turn my eye to ram, ssd and cpu

 

run the bios and see if it's detecting both ram sticks and it's running in the proper speed, same with the cpu

 

then download and run crystaldiskinfo this program checks the health of your storage devices, ssd have a very limited life span so it might be the culprit IMO

 

it usually is for me when i have a similar issue like this

I really doubt the culprit is the ssd, because right now I installed windows on an hdd and I got the same problem, but I'll still run crystaldiskinfo.

And with respect to mobo, there's no physical damage afaik.

So it's gotta be CPU, o ram.
