I don't think I could; my recollection is that gpedit is only part of the Pro build, at least in prior Windows versions. But if she's able to get task manager running (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC - I incorrectly said ALT rather than SHIFT originally - then we can at least see if that's the issue. Clearly something is swamping the processor.
Thank you for your help.
Sorry, I had to take care of something, but I was able to shut down 3 times. The start button worked the first time, but the menu took some time to appear. It's still slow, but works. I was also able to open a word file & access the internet, though it's still quite slow.
Using ctrl-shft-esc, I do get task manager. There are no running apps.
I do get a notice that windows wants me to turn on the firewall. It was installed when I reserved windows 10, I guess, because I turned it off when it interfered with my Kaspersky firewall/anti. And now... I can't open my Kaspersky. Any suggestions, gents?
Disable Kaspersky and see if the computer runs any faster.
Try to turn it off, then on again to see if some of the problems go away.
Could be Kaspersky doing adisk scan.
I can't even open Kaspersky. Whether I click a short cut or go to the file, I get a flicker on the screen & then... nothing. When I right click I get a menu, choose "settings", to disable it, & then... nothing. Windows firewall is back on.
