Slow File Explorer on Windows 11

File Explorer on my Windows 11 machine is somehow slow when I try to:

• Navigate between folders
• Create new files/folders

It takes somehow 5+ seconds in order to respond to any action.

Notes

• I think there's no problem in my storage drive (pretty new internal SSD storage, with SATA connection). Also, when I navigate or create new files/folders on VSCode's File Explorer, it responds instantly with no slowness problems seen in File Explorer.

• I'm currently using the latest Windows 11 version 22000.593 (released 2022-03-28) with no new available updates not installed yet.

• I have my Windows 11 installed as a fresh copy (not an upgrade) for 4 months now.

• In full-screen (by pressing F11), lag in displaying files/folders while navigating is magically ~none. The only lag (in full-screen) is when naming files/folders, it takes ~3 seconds after I hit Enter to set a new name for a file/folder and be able to use File explorer in other tasks again (because it become ~ freezing during these 3 seconds). When I exit full-screen, lag comes again and becomes noticeable. (Thanks to harrymc for this note)

• There's less noticeable lag for short time after boot (however lag exists), and become more severe after using computer for some time. Also, I have enough memory, 32GB and is 50% used most of the time.

Things I tried with no help to fix the problem:

• Disabled Show recently used files in Quick access and Show frequently used folders in Quick access and cleared File Explorer History. (Screenshot)
• Disable many third-party shell extensions using ShellExView
