Really Slow Response Since Updating
My system has been a flyer from the very first install of Windows 10 Pro when it originally came out (the free year).
It would update automatically (very annoying notices...usually when I'm in the middle of something). Due to being annoying and I wanting to control it, I had it disabled a couple months ago.
So yesterday, I decided to check for updates and of course there were a few. So I updated. It then announced something about Creators Update or something like that and ever since my computer runs like a DOG!
I've scoured the web for suggestions on tweaking my startup apps, deleting temp files, running Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner, CCleaner, etc.
I'm looking at my Processes and CPU usage numbers and they appear to be fine. I'd click on say Firefox to start it up, can see it show up in Task Manager (Apps), the CPU not stressed more than 15% with other apps open as well, but the program itself does not show up on the desktop until 30 seconds or so goes by!
And this is with every program pretty much.
It is so slow starting up programs, that I'd start to think that maybe I didn't double-click it fast enough and do it again, only to end up with multiple instances of the app starting due to my multiple clicks.
And it seems I get that spinning blue circle where my cursor arrow would be all the time now, telling me to wait, wait, wait.
System:
Z77 Professional-M MB
Intel Core i3-3220 3.3ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GT640 (2 cards for 3 monitors)
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
8g memory
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500gb (boot drive)
Crucial 250gb SSD (CT250BX100SSD1)
Western Digital WD Blue HD 1tb (WDC WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0)
Antivirus (Microsoft Defender)
Anybody else experiencing this after that Creator update?
Help wb appreciated.
