Windows 10: A 20 second delay to select 'New'

On my desktop using Windows 10 Education v.1809


After I right-click to ' open context menu', then move my pointer to 'New',

there is a 20 second delay to wait until 'Folder' shows in the sub context menu.


This is very abnormal and I need help to fix it.

:)

 

Power up to PW went from 20 seconds to 100 seconds

After analyzing your boot trace I found this:

• The Winlogon phase took 126s, most of the delay is caused by loading the keyboard layout driver (89s)!
• This delay is happening because this driver is not embedded-signed driver.
• Looking at your drivers, I found that there is this "Canadian French - AltGz-degree_AltGe-zer Keyboard Layout" driver (Layout01.dll). The company name is simply company !

To solve your problem you have to uninstall this program.

Hope this will help.

 

Few seconds delay on the audio and some quiet popping noise on my new Dell XPS 13

Hi Luis,

Have you tried the suggestions provided by the third party diagnostic tool? What about running the
Hardware and Devices troubleshooter? If you haven't done so, I suggest that you run the troubleshooter to scan your computer, identify the problems, and attempt to fix the issues automatically. You may
refer to the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
2. Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on Troubleshooting.
3. Click on Hardware and Devices.
4. Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

If this does not help, try to uninstall and reinstall the audio drivers or see if an updated version of the audio drivers is availble for installation. To reinstall the audio drivers, open Device
Manager, right-click the name of the audio device, and select Uninstall. Restart your PC and
Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

To update the drivers, follow these steps:

1. Select the Start button, type Device Manager,
   and select it from the list of results.
2. Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click it, and select Update Driver.
   
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
   
4. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
   

If the issue persists, see if following the steps below will rectify the problem just like how these steps resolved the same issue faced by other users:

1. Search for Sound in the search bar and select the best match.
2. Under Playback, right-click on your default device from the list and select
   Properties.
3. In the Speakers Properties box which opens, switch to the
   Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements check box.
4. Click OK.

Let me know how it turns out.

 

What will happen on Jan 20, 2016?


Strollin: I understand your suggestion, but that means I'll have to re-install all my sofftware etc. again. This is not an enticing thought at all.

LCDR: I tried the old activation code I used before - it is the same on you posted.

I tried the steps listed at the WinAero site. Last one failed because it said the server could not be located. But I did get the Jan 20, 2016 date back. So that's something.
