Sudden System Slowdown

I apologize for the late response..... I went to the ADK site and downloaded the version for Windows 7. Turns out to be a 1.7 GB ISO Image. I don't think this is what you have in mind.

[SOLVED] Cannot start Windows 7 and desperate

I was just now able to get it started. Thankfully my board has a PS/2 interface. Have an old wired USB mouse and USB to PS/2 adapter that I coupled and plugged into the PS/2 port. I hadn't considered the SSD going bad, but am considering a Win10 upgrade.

Thanks for the post regarding Chrome settings. I changed my settings accordingly. There was no difference in performance when I did a Clean Boot.. Of note, there are two Windows splash screens at startup with one saying Please Wait....and the other being the Welcome screen. While the 'Please...

I just noticed something of interest. I just ran CCleaner and during the process it asked to close Chrome to allow CCleaner to clean its various settings. This was interesting because I did shut down Chrome prior to launching CCleaner. There was no evidence that it was open. I opened Process...

Thank you, satrow. Interesting read even though the vast majority of it is above my pay-grade. I couldn't help but notice that while in Device Manager while investigating No. 6 in the article) that the number of entries under HID given the number of devices installed on my computer seems...

Unfortunately, I think this thread has run out of gas. I'm going to leave it open, but I'm not going to be 'that guy' posting BUMP every day. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. This is so slow it's almost unusable. Later.

Sudden System Slowdown

I made a mistake in what I posted to Digerati. I meant to say that I have 122GB of free space, not 122MB. So approximately 1/2 of the SSD if free space. I uninstalled as much evidence of the Bluetooth drivers and software I recently installed as the slowdown occurred around the same time. I'm...

It is slow. I also tried disabling all of the extensions in Chrome as I noticed them loading slowly as well. No real effect.

Thank you very much for your reply. After logging into safe mode it was lightning fast. Everything that I described as being extremely slow was not an issue in safe mode. The SSD currently has 122MB free. (I store all video files either on an external drive or in web storage).
