Desktop in File Explorer hangs on opening and then re-arranges how files are sorted/displayed

Hey folks,

 

when I open my Desktop in File Explorer (it is pinned in my Quick Access), EVERY time it opens the desktop folder it will show one arrangement of icons, the address bar at the top will begin showing a green progress bar loading, and then after 10ish seconds it totally rearranges all the icons displayed in the desktop folder. It appears that the first configuration of files/icons is alphabetical, and then after the green progress bar completes, it goes to the order I have set as the default. ONLY the desktop folder opens this way, no others exhibit this behaviour.


I would like it to just open and not have to wait for it to re-sort all the icons to my preferred method (sort by date), and this is beginning to really wear my patience.

 

Can anyone help?

 

I am running Windows 11 Home 64bit version 22H2

 

Thanks!
