Windows 10: AOL Gold Problem - Delayed Sign On

Not sure if this forum can provide solutions for an ISP issue, but here it is.

I use Windows 10 and AOL Gold.

Since early last March when I open AOL, there is a long delay. This usually occurs after my PC has been idle and I open AOL, but it will do it on occasion after I am on my PC.

After repeated attempts I finally was able to talk with a higher-level AOL tech. These are his remarks.
He claims my AOL is not properly closing when I sign off, and there are some programs running in the background when I try to sign on again. To that point, I turned off all of my startup programs and that did not help. The tech finally said my Windows is corrupted and I should reinstall Windows.

The other steps I have taken are:

Turned Off all of my antivirus software, reinstalled AOL, did sfc /scannow, Check Disc for errors, and did DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

So, is there a solution other than reinstalling Windows?

Thanks,
Jerry

AOL Gold install

Spoke with AOL, suggested previous AOL program may be inerfering with download. Deleted all old AOL and

installation of AOL GOLD worked. Interesting that this just occured with an HP laptop when AOL GOLD downloaded on three other Dell laptops without first deleting previous edition of AOL.

Not have had any other problems with programs on HP laptop.

As an aside, I have a very old DELL laptop running Windows 7 which is probably the most dependable computer I own. Sometimes the old stuff is better!

 

AOL Gold

I signed up for Aol Gold, commited to pay the monthly fee. Suddenly got dropped, my user name no longer worked. Any major changes going on?
