Microsoft has released a fix for the long-standing issue of lag in Windows Explorer when working with cloud-based files on OneDrive. The update, known as KB5052094, is currently only available to users on the Review Release Channel of Windows 11 and addresses the problem of slow context menu interactions.
For years, users have complained about the delay between clicking “rename” and actually being able to do it for cloud-based files. This issue has been particularly frustrating for those who rely on OneDrive for tasks such as game benchmarking. The update aims to alleviate this pain point, improving performance and reducing lag.
It is unclear why Microsoft took so long to address the issue, but it’s possible that the solution involved changes to Azure servers or hardware configuration. Whatever the reason, Microsoft has promised to make the fix available to all users as soon as possible, with even a slight improvement expected to make working life easier for those affected.
This update is a welcome relief for many OneDrive users who have long suffered from this issue. With the promise of improved performance and reduced lag, it’s likely that the fix will be well-received by the community.
