[SleepyDude]

Just checking the thread at work.  I will update the programs identified in post #17 when I get home.

 

ok.
 

No, I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10.  (Is there any benefit?  I already don't like the user interface with 8.1, that's why I installed Classic Shell so that it looks like XP.)

 

I will not discuss that

 

The Windows 10 offer can interfere with the install of Windows Updates and also start downloading in the background using bandwidth and hard disk space...

 

 

Lets stop the Windows 10 Offer

 

Please download GWX Control Panel and run the tool

You can use the options:

• Disable 'Get Windows 10' App (remove icon)
• Delete Windows 10 Download Folders...
• Prevent Automatic Windows 10 Upgrades

After this restart the PC.

Something strange is going on.  Started the computer, desktop and icons loaded normally. I clicked on Outlook and it took fully 2 minutes to load.  Clicked on Start, and long delay before anything showed up on the screen.  Tried to go into Task Manager and it wouldn't load for almost 2 minutes as well. 

 

Ran the tool from previous post. 

 

Awaiting further instructions.

Any recent changes besides what we did?

 

Download MiniToolBox and save the file to the Desktop.
Close the browser and run the tool, check the following options:

Check Windows System files integrity

• open the Command Prompt as Administrator (Tutorial)
• type the following command and press Enter:
  

  sfc /scannow

  Note: This may take some time to finish.
  
  let me know if it doesn't say "No integrity violations found"

[Jackpine]

Scan finished. "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."

[SleepyDude]

• Download SFCFix.exe (by Niemiro) and save it to the Desktop
• Run SFCFix (accept the security warning and follow the instructions on the screen)
• Upon completion, a log file SFCFix.txt should be created on your Desktop
• Open the SFCFix.txt log and copy & paste the contents to your post

After the scan I restarted the computer.  Like before, the desktop and icons loaded right away, but it still takes longer than usual (but faster than before) to open things like Outlook and my browser.  Maybe another sfc /scannow is required?  What about the malware?  Has that been cleaned up?

 

Also, I have a notice to download some Windows updates.  Should I go ahead and do that?

 

Thank you for your assistance in all this by the way.  It's greatly appreciated.  (I will be out this evening, so I won't be able to do anything more from about an hour from now until around 10pm, EST.)

Edited by Jackpine, 05 April 2016 - 03:13 PM.

[SleepyDude]

Hi,

 

Run sfc /scannow again to confirm that it passes. If it does let install the Windows Updates.

 

I don't see evidences of malware in the logs.

[Jackpine]

Second sfc /scannow completed.  Windows did not find any integrity violations.

 

I will try Windows update now and report.

 

There were 3 updates available.  Two of them installed.  The third wouldn't.  Error Code 8024002D.

 

Programs slow to load: about 2 minutes for Outlook.  Even clicking on Start button takes a while before anything appears on the screen.

Edited by Jackpine, 06 April 2016 - 03:41 PM.

[SleepyDude]

Post the name of the Update please (KBxxxxx) and a new Minitoolbox log with List last 10 Event Viewer Errors

[Jackpine]

The update is KB2460011.  Except for this particular update, Windows update works well.  If this can't be fixed, I can probably live without it.  I'm more concerned about the long startup time for all programs.  On the other hand, maybe the two are linked?

 

Minitoolbox log is below.

Hi,

 

The update is failing because it doesn't find the files for Microsoft Access database engine 2010! I'm not sure about the source of this program if you have the program in a CD you need to put the disc on the drive before installing the update of reinstall the program.

 

Disable the Windows Defender to see if that resolves the speed problem.

[Jackpine]

Microsoft Windows Defender is already disabled.  (I checked.)  I have a CD for Microsoft Office 2007 32 bit, which is what was installed.  I used this on my desktop computer. But of course since the desktop has Windows XP, I don't get any updates.  (Desktop is not used for any financial transactions, or other personal items.)

[SleepyDude]

Microsoft Windows Defender is already disabled.  (I checked.)

Its generating some errors...

 

Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and Copy & Paste the following command:

sc config WinDefend start= demand

Respect the spaces exactly as I typed or it will fail. The result must be [SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

Some program installed Microsoft Access database engine 2010 see if you can repair the install using the Control Panel -> Programs and Features.
