My laptop has been updating like crazy......what?  I haven't the slightest idea.  However about 2 days ago it began slowing down when logging off, logging on (20+ mins) and everything in between.  Not quite sure what direction to take - reset to factory; Fresh Start; recovery or what.  I did get notification about Firmware. Also notice to "restart" to repair drive errors". This laptop has been restarted numerous times, and in fact it seems worse.  Please help someone!!  Thanks.
