Why is File Explorer sometimes slow?
I have several machines in my home network. One of the machines is the household server and one of its drives is accessed as the Z: drive on the other machines. On a fairly regular basis, when using File Explorer on one of the other machines, when Z: is clicked on, it takes 30+ seconds for the files to appear.
I am fairly certain that this issue is with the server because the other day, while using a File Explorer-like program on an Android phone, accessing the Z: drive was very slow.
My question is this: Is there some setting I can adjust on the server to resolve this issue? Not sure if it matters, but I have the server configured to shutdown every night at around 1:00 am and turn back on at around 8:00 am. (Okay - call me silly, but why waste electricity?...)
