My go-to approach is not to rely on Windows as it is very chuggy and throws hissy-fits like this all to often.

Instead, I use Everything, https://www.voidtools.com, and toggle from Details (Ctrl+Shift+6) to Thumbnails (Ctrl+Shift+1 / +2 / +3).
All blisteringly fast.

Ideal for viewing local cache XAR templates and components.
