Windows 10: All Browsers very slow

FrankS · Nov 17, 2019

Hi
I use Firefox as my default browser & recently noticed it'd become extremely slow - it opens up but then takes a minute or two before it's usable (on the tab the little dot goes back & forth).
I initially thought it was a Firefox problem so I disabled all addons but the problem remained. I then did a Firefox refresh but didn't work either.
I then thought it might be the Home page (DuckDuckGo Search) so I checked it out using Chrome: same problem.
I changed the Home page & tried in Chrome, Firefox & (God forbid) Edge. No luck.
Any ideas?
Addition. It was initially the case that the slowness only occurred upon opening the browser - after that all would be well. I now find that if I attempt to load a different page on another tab the slowness is there.

:)

Slow Browser

Hi Susan,

To address your concern, we would like to know the following:

Have you already performed a speedtest for your internet connection?

Does your other devices experience the same slowness in browsing?

Have you turned off your addons on your browsers?

For the meantime, you can perform a reset on your Internet Explorer 11 / Microsoft Edge by following the steps on this

link.

Let us know how it goes.

Best regards.

I am still having slow browser problems I have tried all of the suggestions and nothing works it is no good making suggestions for I.E. as I am not using it, I am using Edge or Firefox I really do not know what else I can do someone must know what will
work, just to reiterate an initial search will bring up in Google or Bing results of my search then when I select the most likely from the display I get the circle going round and round in the address bar then the usual time out, something fundamental is wrong,
Microsoft must have an answer

I have still not resolved this slow browser problem it doesn't matter what site I am trying to access most times I get a timeout message don't forget I am using Edge or Firefox not I.E. Edge seems to be the worst offender
