I don't think I've installed anything around the window things started acting funny. Did a malware check and things looked okey-dokey.<br/><br/>Anyone else having similar issues?Explorer taking a long time to open a window could indicate a hard drive problem.<br/>If you can open Explorer and click on My <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pc-590329" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PC">PC</a>, right click on the C: drive, click on the Tools tab and then in Error Checking click on Check.<br/><br/>If there are any problems hopefully windows can fix them, or at least indicate if that is the cause.<br/><br/>If it is not that then we will have to delve further into what is causing the problem."Tools" isn't a right-click option. Presume you mean "Properties=>Tools"?<br/><br/>ETA: Meant to include that I ran that, and it was fine.Rather than start with the Windows tools to check files, I suggest you check the Hard drive is up to running these checks. <br/><br/>I would run a copy of HD sentinel from here <a href="https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php">https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php</a><br/><br/>Check the drive and if it is failing have it replaced. Then run the tools Gizmo suggested. All good, I think?Yes you are correct the SSD is ok. What about the free space. A SSD for long life and reliable operation you need to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/maintain-1084096" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MAINTAIN">MAINTAIN</a> at least 10% free space + 20GB for windows workspace. <br/>Hd sentinel will show this as well. Oh I have at least 45 percent free.</body></html> | |
