Good Day Knobbygunder,
My name is Carlo, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.
I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.
-Click Start, type CMD and run it as administrator
-Copy and paste the command below and hit enter.
Sfc /scannow
Wait until the pc finishes scanning and repairing any corrupted system files then proceed with the next command
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Once done restart your pc using Cleanboot.
- Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
- System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
- On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
- Click on services tab
- Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services
- Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
- Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
- Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
- Click OK, Apply and close the configuration utility
- Restart your pc and let me know how it goes.
If issue persist check for updates and install them to keep your device up to date.
-Press Windows key + X
-Go to Settings
-Click Update and Security
-Check for Updates and install them.
I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
With Warm Regards,
Carlo T.
