Very slow loading of photos, GIFs and video?
Is anyone else experiencing very slow loading of photos/images, especially higher resolution? Even simple GIFs, which previously required no loading time, now take two to several seconds to load. Videos, even low-res, which previously commenced playing instantly and seamlessly now cue the "swirling orbs of death" to swirl for up to several minutes before beginning, and will pause mid-play of 5 to 10-minute videos to swirl-load again.
I was operating on Windows 7. I denied several auto-offers to "upgrade" to Windows 10. A few days ago I walked in and found Windows 10 77% loaded and warning not to interfere. Figured that was that, and would have to deal with it. There are several "upgrades" and "enhancements" which I'd rather not have - and that Windows 7 handled much better - but now it seems I'm stuck with 10. If so and this problem cannot be resolved.... I don't know what. At great cost, switch to MAC? But continually being frustrated, delayed and cursing at the screen is not a pleasant prospect.
