Computer is running excessively slow. Can't find solution
My Windows 10 is running excessively slow.
A few symptoms:
When I right click my desktop, explorer freeze for 10-15 seconds while the context menu loads.
Games will attempt to load but will take 5+ minutes to get into the program. Most times games will freeze while attempting to load.
Non-game programs will not start initially and will take 15-30 seconds to load.
Booting into windows takes much longer than normal. legacy speed was 15-25 seconds. Recent has been a few minutes.
Computer specs.
i7-4790K processor
Gigabyte Z97-D3H Motherboard
Radeon R9 390 Nitro 8GB - Graphics card
16GB Hyper X (4x4GB sticks) - RAM
Sandisk SDD 250GB - OS drive
Seagate 3TB drive 7200 RPM - Main HDD
Things I have tried.
Cleaning up my SDD to below 55% free space on drive
Ran sfc /scannow. No errors.
Ran DISM repair. No avail.
Shut down most startup items using ccleaner and msconfig. - very little affect.
attempted No GUI Boot
Turned off Windows Search - Didn't work
- Disabled Cortana
- Reenabled Cortana - Both had no affect on problems
Flashed BIOS with most recent update - No affect
Running out of ideas, and I am looking at just reinstalling my OS. The computer has problems with everything except for internet searching it seems.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
