Windows 10: Cannot download and pc is slow/non responsive after format of drives

I just Formated all the drives on my pc and had it install windows on its own.After this i've tried to download several apps from google chrome but they just freeze mid download, except Steam. but when i launch the setup it freezes aswell mid download. if i try to launch Windows settings that takes about 10-15 secounds to launch wich previously took 1 secound before format. I've updated windows to latest and tried to restart the pc several times.Booting the pc also takes about 5 minutes to get to login page wich took about 20 secound before format.The taskbar also ''crashes'' if i try to open

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

Word (in Win365) is slow to non-responsive

I have noticed in past 1-2 weeks that Word has often been slow/non-responding when attempting to open document. I've been running Windows 365 for several months, and this slow-down has been a recent development.

Today Word took so long to open (about 2 minutes) that I did a Restart to try to correct problem, but it is still showing a frequest "non-responsive" status.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5000 series laptop (purchased in 2016); system has 6GB RAM (5GB usable) and runs 64-bit OS. I've checked laptop operation (e.g. disk fragmentation) and have not found any hardware error codes.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for improving Word performance.
