Ah no need if it was done prior to boot as the log will just say that it repaired sectors. I do not know if it has made any difference though. Currently I have drawn a blank on possible causes of a slow IE start

Hi Greg I believe that there may not be a solution to this as it may be specific to your system. Nothing on any of the tech sites has helped at all as we have already tried the fix or it is inapplicable. Are you happy using Firefox or Chrome ?

so far it has been stable but I am thinking the problem lies with active x filtering, I always seem to have to either turn it off or turn it on.

 

I wonder if a Microsoft update within the last month has caused something to do with this

Active x is being phased out when windows 10 arrives so it may be that they are doing some fiddling in the background
