Windows 10: PC incredibly slow.

Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.836)

It takes quite a while to boot.

I keep most of my files on an external hard drive.

Opening a folder and displaying the contents takes ages.

What can I do to speed things up (a lot) ?

Would it help to keep copies on the external drive and keep he originals on the desktop.

Factory Reset made pc incredibly slow

So, I factory reset my PC due to it becoming slow. I used the built-in factory reset feature. It's a Dell PC. It takes literal hours to get onto the desktop. The strangest thing is the fact that the computer runs incredibly smoothly in safe mode, but as
soon as I restart into normal windows, logging in takes up to half an hour. Please help me with this, as my computer is completely unusable

 

Windows 10 update has incredibly slowed my PC

An update on May 9 has kicked my PC in the head. Still functioning (apparently) but incredibly slow. PC practically useless.

I have run a system file check. It found nothing.

As a side observation, the clock on my PC is running but getting progressively slower.

 

Windows 10 incredibly slow boot times.

Hi,

After upgrading from windows 8.1 to windows 10 my computer suffers from incredibly slow boot times.

It boots to a black screen with white loading circle in the middle, I have timed it and it takes 5 minutes plus to reach the logon screen from the black screen.

Can anyone suggest what may be the problem?

Thank you.
