something has shifted where windows is running extremely slowly. it takes a few seconds to allow the cursor to even click on new thread just now.
takes ages for a folder to load what is in it, the images don't preview often.
green bar goes across for ages when opening folders.
takes ages to open files or programs. takes many seconds to open firefox and opening a few tabes from clicking on several links in an email will take 30 seconds or more to load the windows.
every aspect of windows has massive massive slow down. task manager, which also takes ages to open, shows nothing with a large percentage of cpu or anything.
this is a very minimialist install. nothing is running in the system tray. msconfig shows nothing is running except logitech software. i have windows firewall and defender running (because comodo crashed my system on several installs). come from an it background and nothing is installed that shouldnt be. can screen grab anything.
overall, this windows 8 install is my 5th one and it is totally unusable for god knows what reason. i have no idea but just everything is just ridiculously slow. i feel forced to go back to windows 7 which i dont want to do. and if i do format install i know im going to try and install windows 8 again !!!! its not my pc , it has 4gb ram duel core 3ghz good graphics card etc.
its really out of control. cant even use firefox effectively. windows explorer windows takes ages to open, a folder can take upwards of minutes to actually display whats in there. often doesnt display the image previews and just shows a white icon for video and pics. what the heck is going on !!!!!!!???? can i even do anything.. . aghhhhh
