My pc has suddenly started to go really slow. It takes 50 minutes from
switch on to get to desktop. When I click on something on desktop it
takes approx 5 miutes to open, and I can only open one thing at a time,
so i have to choose carefully, as they wont close without using cntrl,
alt, del.
I tried to run anti virus today but it was going so slowly it took 7
1/2 hours, then I stopped it, but up till then it hadnt found any
threats.
I tried to do disc clean up, to delete temp files etc, but even that
took 1 1/2 hours before crashing.
Free space is 71%
I havent installed anything before this started happening, and Im not
sure what I can do to find any cause.
I would be very greatful for any advise.
Thanks
Lel
