Last night 10 March, I downloaded and Installed all the Important and Recommended Updates. But this morning when I booted up it was SO SLOW before the main Desktop Screen came on.

Was one or more of these updates affecting boot-up speed, if so what can i do about it. Does anyone else noticed this problem or is it just me.

Many Thanks

Many thanks for your quick response.

I believe your instruction refers to Windows Internet Explorer, I always use Firefox, so probually it will not help.
Do you want me to change to IE and try this alteration, please would you advise.

Thanks ... Bill

I had the same problem as you on IE this morning and rectified it as already stated.

I also have Firefox and suggest you try deleting any ADD ONS (if you have any,) one at a time to see if any of them are causing your problem, you can always reinstall them again afterwards.

Earlier, a poster wrote: "...I also have Firefox and suggest you try deleting any ADD ONS (if you have any,) one at a time to see if any of them are causing your problem, you can always reinstall them again afterwards..."
Firefox add-ons are mostly XPI scripts. To delete means later having to go out, hunt 'em down, reinstall the deleted add-ons. Because FEBE also keeps records of bookmarks, preferences, and all add-ons [XPI scripts] -- I figured it would be easier to do a FEBE backup, then disable and/or unistall add-ons. Anything wanted after that testing period -- FEBE can bring same back right from the hard-drive.

I don't know what I did but the problem as now disappeared.

My boot up has gone back to its usual 5-6 seconds.

Can I thank everyone for their contributions.

Regards ... Bill
