   As far a show the computer is doing...after the previous run of the FRST "fix" and then the Adware Cleanup, the computer was much better. However, just tonight, it froze after booting up and when I did a hard reboot, it took longer than normal to come online. Even opening Photoshop and a picture within Photoshop lagged. The web lagged as well.

Hi iMacg3,

 

   I did all the tasks as prescribed above. The computer took 2-3 minutes to restart and get to the point where I could enter my password. Upon entering the password, the desktop appeared right away, whereas before there was a significant lag. One other thing. When I launched Microsoft Edge to enter this post, Microsoft Edge took about 30 seconds to find the site. I was using my phone while waiting and my internet connection seemed to be fine.

Hi ekstatman,

Please do the following:
  • Press the Windows key + R, type msconfig and click OK.
  • Click the Services tab, then Hide all Microsoft entries. Check the top half of the unchecked entries and restart the computer.
  • If startup time remains the same then check another entry and restart the computer. Repeat as necessary.
  • If startup time slows down then uncheck one of the checked entries and restart the computer. Repeat as necessary.
List the names of the service(s) causing the issue in your reply.
