I'm guessing this is a "performance" problem, but, before I start, FWIW, uninstalled Avast 2-3 weeks ago,
Initially, my problem became slow refresh on Windows Internet Explorer, Firefox, and EM Client. Browser pages would take 3-5 minutes to re-display. EM Client would take 1-2 minutes to open an email. After a few days, most colors disappeared from the browsers. No ads displayed, Accuweather (for example), displays only text and links. Changing from 'Mail" to "Calendar" in EM Client can take 45 seconds to a minute (yes, I timed it). Last 2-3 days, the keyboard is agonizingly slow. Sometimes a pressed key NEVER gets to the display. Sometimes, after a few seconds, I get 5-10 of the key I pressed. Changed batteries in the keyboard with no difference. I've found, if I reboot, the keyboard works fine for 10-20 minutes. Because these problems run across multiple apps, I'm guessing it's W8 and not the apps. Any ideas/ suggestions on troubleshooting.
