Windows 10: I would like to take my long time ex, who's now using a different name, just the first...

My ex and I broke up years ago, I let her use our joint Amazon account and now I would very much like to delete, not MY account, but her name off of it.

Long Loading Time for Lock Screen

Hello Pawan, thank you for the reply!

I've tried all of the steps that you've given me. Unfortunately, none of them made a difference except for the clean boot step. It didn't completely solve the problem, however I did notice a
slightly faster load time for the lock screen. However, it still takes an unusually long time to load it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

 

Not running new .exe or .msi files

thank you, TO for your suggestions, but these didn't help unfortunately.

"winmgmt /verifyrepository" came back as consistent and the Catroot2 has been moved to Catroot2.old, restarted and still the same problem.
what else could I try please?

regards

Just a bit more info about what I noticed....

- I can run .exe files as long as these are part of installed applications, like Word, Excel and other applications that have been installed for a long time. Could it be that if I move the .exe files to the folder where the other installed .exe are these would also run? I will try that.

OK..... so, just tried this...

went into C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity and double clicked on "audacity.exe" without any hesitations this applications started.
I pasted another, just downloaded, application (.exe) into that same Audacity folder and it certainly didn't do anything after double clicking on it. It's like there has been a white list created with all application names that were installed up to a certain date/time and anything that isn't part of that list cannot be run (should be ignored)???? Does this even exist and if this is a possibility how could I figure it out? IT management says that they have certainly not installed anything like that.

 

Windows 10 shows the apps names different or odd

I have the compelet names and no smartphone is connected but they are system apps like maps or calendar and thanks for answering.
