Microsoft Admits (November 2025)
File Explorer is slow and can take longer than usual to load
Their solution? Run it 24/7 in background (early 2026). Doesn't fix navigation speed, just masks launch time.
Microsoft's solution: Run it all the time.
Ours: Make it unnecessary.
AI-powered file operations that eliminate slow folder browsing entirely.
What They're Doing:
Preload File Explorer in background 24/7 so it opens faster (early 2026)
What This Fixes:
✅ Launch speed
What Remains Slow:
Plus: Runs 24/7 consuming RAM, enabled by default (privacy concern), wastes electricity.
Developer quote from Microsoft's announcement:
"fix Windows 11 first, like slow File Explorer"
Users want real fixes, not workarounds.
Instead of making File Explorer slightly faster, Diwadi eliminates the need for slow folder-by-folder browsing with AI-powered batch operations.
Convert 100 images in 10 seconds. No folder browsing required. Select all files, choose operation, done.
AI handles compression optimization, format detection, quality tuning. You just describe what you want.
Image/video compression, format conversion, document transformation - all native. No separate tools needed.
File Explorer can't do this. You'd need to browse folders, use online tools (limited to 20-50 files), or install separate software.
❌ File Explorer Way (30+ minutes)
✅ Diwadi Way (10 seconds)
File Explorer has no video compression. You'd need separate software (HandBrake, Adobe, etc.) which requires technical knowledge.
❌ File Explorer Way (15+ minutes)
✅ Diwadi Way (2 minutes)
File Explorer struggles with folders containing 500+ files. Thumbnail generation is painfully slow, especially for videos/RAW images.
❌ File Explorer Experience
✅ Diwadi Approach
File Explorer's network performance is notoriously slow. Every folder click requires multiple server requests.
❌ File Explorer on Network Drives
✅ Diwadi Solution
| Task | File Explorer | Diwadi | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Convert 100 images | 30+ min (manual) | 10 seconds | 180x faster |
| Compress video | Not possible natively | 1-2 minutes | ∞ (built-in) |
| Load large folder (1000 files) | 5-10 seconds | Not needed (batch ops) | N/A |
| Format conversion (HEIC→JPG) | Requires separate tool | Native support | Built-in |
| Document transformation | Not supported | DOCX→MD, PDF→MD | Exclusive |
File Explorer's architecture hasn't fundamentally changed since Windows Vista (2007). It struggles with: thumbnail generation, network drives, large folders (1000+ files), and modern file formats. Microsoft admits it's slow but chose to mask the problem with background preloading instead of fixing the root cause.
Only for initial launch. The 2026 update preloads File Explorer in background so it opens instantly. But once opened, folder navigation, file operations, and search remain slow. It's a band-aid, not a fix.
AI-powered batch operations mean you don't need to browse folders file-by-file. Example: Instead of navigating to 10 folders to convert 100 images, just select all 100 and convert in 10 seconds. No folder browsing required.
Yes! Most users keep File Explorer for basic browsing and switch to Diwadi for file operations (conversions, compressions, transformations). Over time, you'll find you need File Explorer less and less.
File Explorer is slow at: converting file formats (requires separate tools), batch operations (manual one-by-one), image/video compression (no native support), thumbnail generation in large folders, network drive navigation, and search in large directories.
Yes! Completely free for unlimited file operations. No subscriptions, no file limits, no watermarks. Free forever.
No! Diwadi only runs when YOU launch it. Zero background processes. Zero RAM consumption when not in use. You control your computer's resources.
100%. All operations happen locally on your device. No uploads, no cloud processing, no telemetry. Unlike File Explorer (which sends telemetry to Microsoft), Diwadi keeps everything private.
Eliminate slow File Explorer with AI-powered file operations. Fast, private, and actually solves the problem.
Completely free • No background processes • 100% private
