Folders/files on network slow to open

[bitfidelity]

Has anyone noticed that items on a network take substantially longer (10+ seconds) to open through Everything? It's as if the path indexed in Everything is out of date, and Explorer (or XYplorer, in my case) has to figure out where the actual file is.

It doesn't seem to be a network issue, since I do not get the same slowdown if I try accessing the file directly through my file manager.

DNS issue?

If you open a folder, then reopen it, is it quicker? try accessing the folder from a IP address, rather than a host name, eg: \\192.168.1.10\share\

Everything uses a method called ILCreateFromPath to create a reference of the folder to open it, this method will check if the folder is valid/exists which could be taking a long time when used on a network share...

What kind of results do you get from a ping test?
eg: ping 192.168.1.10 or ping server ?

This isn't a server that has to come out of stand-by/deep sleep (like a NAS, for example)? Guess not, but the less guessing the better ...
Are you running Everything as Administrator?

Yes, the "hanging" goes away if I open the folder at least once.

When I ping the server, I get a response time of under 1ms.

No, my servers are Windows PCs running 24/7; the drives never spin down.

I just checked the "Run as administrator" setting, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

What OS (& version)?

Win10 1803 has an issue that came along with one of its "updates" causing slow network access.

Perhaps ? something like that is playing in here?

I am running Windows 10 1803, but I have definitely experienced this issue even with previous versions of the OS.
