Windows 10: PC is almost completely unusable today, is this MS recent bug fix???

It refused to open a new tab in the browser.
It was running way beyond slow.
I managed to power down and it claimed going to install updates.
then on boot said wait while installing, hit4%, then 100%, it barley manages to finally boot.

Everything is unusably slow now.
Seriously, load a web page and walk away, eventually after about 5 minutes the page displays.

Is this that fix for those 2 serious bugs? If so, this PC is now an unusable piece of crap.
I am typing in on a linux PC, no way I could do this on the affected PC. Yesterday the PC worked fine.

Cpu is core2duo E6550.

What happened to Word? Today it is almost unusable.

Hi Ann,

• What exactly do you mean by the banner?
• What is the version of the Word installed on your device and is it activated?

Please post us back with the screenshot of the banner and other required information so that we can assist you accordingly.

Thank you.

 

What happened to Word? Today it is almost unusable.

My Word no longer will allow an open banner on the top of the page. If I need to use one I can get it open but cannot type without transferring the cursor back to the content without an extra click. All recent changes seem to be inconvenient. This is ANNOYING!!!!

 

We cannot say without knowing which update it was. What does your 'installed update history' say it was?

 

ok, I dont notice a very recent update, except adobe flash.

I do notice a reset pc option, is it worth trying? As it is, the pc is worthless.

 

You're spec.'s say you are running Win7. Is that the case? If so, while we have some very good people here with much knowledge about 7, I would venture to say that you might get faster help for your problem at our sister site sevenforums. Here's a link in case you haven't been there before. Many of us migrated here from there years ago.

I am running win10 pro, the picture shows a win10 screen too. I have many pc's running various OS, I keep using the same login to various forums

 

Yeah I saw that after I posted. Have you tried a system restore to a point before this happened?

 

No, have not yet. I suppose wirth trying, HOWEVER!, that ms bug fix for those 2 serious CPU bugs may be silent, meaning it wont show in a list. DOES anyone know??

 

Did you update anything else? Third party programs/app.'s? Have you tried running your A/V? Malware scans?

 

All I use is the MS built in malware that comes preloaded.

No updates that I did.

 

No , no word about those yet. Ones been "fixed" for awhile, meltdown, and I have it installed with no problems. Not sure if they've released the Spectre fix yet.

 

Try SuperAntispyware and/or Malwarebytes. Have you ran a scan with Defender? Is it on even? Did you download anything else before you noticed this slowdown?

 

Get this, I searched for system restore from the command area, And instantly windows explorer browser popped open, then I immediately clicked images, got instant response, then absolutely dead in the water, back to nothing working for chrome or windows browser. So for a moment there it was back to normal.

It is still trying to bring up system restore.

 

there are 3 available restore points, 2/9, 2/7 critical update, 1/26 critical update.
I chose 2/9 a module install, which is I think the adobe flash one.
