Google Speed test disables part of Win 10

Having just switched from one internet provider to another, I chose to run a speed test to verify the up / download capability. Not having a url handy, I "Googled" speed test. Being lazy (and foolish) I selected the first speed test that popped up. It was
reuptedly a speed test provided by Google. In the middle of running this test, about 10 seconds into the process, the test "locked up" and would not run or shut down. With the screen totally locked, I was forced to do a hard shutdown via the power button.

Because someone will ask, I am using:

Dell Inspiron 1520 machine with Win 7 upgraded to Win 10. To the best of my knowledge, all Win updates are current.

What works:

Via the task bar, I can access, Chrome, Adobe Acrobat, Word, and outlook.

The Windows (start) icon via "right-click) only

What I cannot access and will not function:

The Win (start) Icon will not function via "left click".

Edge icon, nor is Edge accessible via any other function

The windows notifications center indicates 1 notification but will not open via left or right click

I cannot seem to access any windows updates.

Any suggestions about the potential cause and thus the clearing up this issue? I am considering using my Win 7 program disk to attempt to repair the system. I am currently about 500 miles from that disc though, so it will be about a week before I can try
this.

Hi David,

There are a few factors why you're having this issue on your computer. It is highly recommended that you shut down your computer properly to avoid system errors and corruption. We suggest that you create a new User Profile named Test to check if the problem
will reoccur.

To create a user profile, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
• Select Family & other people.
• Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
• Name the user as Test.
• Leave the password field blank.
• Hit Next.
• Sign in as Test user.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Chrome speed test issue


After having problems with IE 11 on my old eMachine with Win-10 (Home)/ Comcast server I installed Chrome. It works good but the speed test resulted in 1/3rd the speed of IE 11 or FireFox. Several typical dead end suggestions (Internet ‘sperts) I assume that Chrome has some setup problems, but cannot find the cure. Any suggestions? BTW, both IE and FF run ~125 Mps, Chrome~45.
