Does it still show "this folder is empty" while the OS is loading folder contents? And does Ctrl+A Enter stll launch all programs and files at once?

what else should ctrl+a and enter then do?

Nothing. Opening selection of apps is such an arcane corner case it should not be the easiest to do thing, put it into twice nested menu. Same as typing should not delete selected text if there is no undo.
