I'm a heavy tab user. Who else finds Tabbed File Explorer to be very slow and sluggish with multiple tabs open?

In comparison, I can have multiple tabs open in Directory Opus, and not notice any performance problems with it. Same with other tabbed file managers that I've used over the years.

Haven't noticed that as much as it takes a second or two longer to load the first tab. And I get a few more "Not Responding" when copying large files than I'd expect.

Does anyone know if it's possible to save a tab configuration in Windows Explorer - i.e., with multiple open tabs - so those tabs are present the next time Windows Explorer is loaded?
We've been using FreeCommander, where this capability, tiled tabs, and other functionality seemingly absent in Windows Explorer, has existed for quite some time.

Hey - here's a question.

I haven't used a mouse in, like, 15 years - laptop only - so I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible.

The Win-key shortcuts to bop through my pinned apps gets heavy use.

I never pinned Explorer because, Why? Win-E opens it right up.

But now I've noticed that Win-E opens a NEW Explorer window, instead of bringing the existing Window to the top. (For comparison, when I use Win-2 to open my browser, if I have an active session, it jumps to that session rather than starting a new one...)

I have ten pinned apps, so when Explorer opens it's at least in the eleventh position, which means I can't use Win-#.

Short of pinning it in slot 1-10, is there an option to force Win-E to activate the existing Explorer window, rather than launching a new one?
