Windows 10 takes very long to load/show contenct of Downloads folder because folder type is pictures

My Windows 10 explorer took ages to load and display the content of the "Downloads" folder. All other folders' content was shown immediately.

How-I-fixed-it:

Find the folder in file explorer
Right click on it and select 'properties' at the bottom of the pop-up window
Click on the customise tab
Change 'optimise this folder for:' to 'General items'
