| 1440985 | 2017-10-23 03:55:00 | The thing is, if it was slow AFTER Windows came up, then I'd be looking at software, but this is before. What did you use to check the hard drive? |

The following.Select C Drive, properties, check the drive for errors, click check & wait. . Something odd. Recently I had a big MS download. The problem may have started then. Yesyerday there was another one but small. The laptop is ok now. I have started it twice today & seems normaal. Problem gone thanks. I will try & do a, HJT Log PJ PS. The laptop seems to be running faster. !! PJ |

| 1440988 | 2017-10-23 19:11:00 | PJ when it was slow, the device was possibly still downloading and/or installing the changes. It would seem that it has now finished and is back to normal. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1440989 | 2017-10-24 05:56:00 | OK, if it's not slow anymore, it's cured. Don't fix it if it no longer has an issue. |

| 1440990 | 2017-10-27 00:09:00 | Our work HP running win7 recently recently showed same symptoms with the hard drive running at 100 pc for more than 10 mins and we traced it to a program automatically downloaded fro m MS which is called "windows compatibility...". you just disable it in the Task Scheduler and all is happy again. Look in Task manager and resource section to see what is making it run. | piva (3796) | ||
