Windows 8.1 ver 6.2
I've read proposed solutions here and on the web. No luck. Here is what I know.
After reboot, W8 runs pretty well. As the days go on, it gets exceedingly slow. (NOTE: all time given were actually timed)
Browser (Firefox, IE, Chrome) can take 5-6 minutes to complete an update when I hit F5. I get a LOT of "No Response." I've tried running browsers with Add-ins disabled and removing cookies.
EM Client will take 3 minutes to change from email to calendar.
Word takes 2 minutes to open.
Eventually, the keyboard will take 30 sec to 1 min from hitting a letter key to it's appearing on the screen.
CTRL-ALT-DEL takes 2 minutes to display.
I've tried emptying Recycle Bin, removing unused apps, checking Task Manager for memory hogging apps, memory uses 2.9 of 3.7GB, disabling/removing Avast, emptying browser history, ran anti-virus, searched for malware. I've read great debates about registry cleaners and, thus, haven't tried one. I haven't removed/reinstalled W8. Any further tests/tips would be appreciated.
