Windows 10: Slow Browser

melgreco · Dec 29, 2018

Hi, my browser is extremely slow to load web pages as soon as there are multiple sites open. I have run disk clean up and defrag. I took it in to scan for malware and viruses, then did a system back up. I also called the internet provider to see if that was the problem, he said it was slow but the problem was within the computer.

So, do I need a new computer or can I get away with upgrading?

I have an Acer Aspire X, 1 TB hard drive, 6 GB DDR3 memory, Intel Pentium G640 processor

Any advise?

:)

Hi Susan,

To address your concern, we would like to know the following:

Have you already performed a speedtest for your internet connection?

Does your other devices experience the same slowness in browsing?

Have you turned off your addons on your browsers?

For the meantime, you can perform a reset on your Internet Explorer 11 / Microsoft Edge by following the steps on this

link.

Let us know how it goes.

Best regards.

I am still having slow browser problems I have tried all of the suggestions and nothing works it is no good making suggestions for I.E. as I am not using it, I am using Edge or Firefox I really do not know what else I can do someone must know what will
work, just to reiterate an initial search will bring up in Google or Bing results of my search then when I select the most likely from the display I get the circle going round and round in the address bar then the usual time out, something fundamental is wrong,
Microsoft must have an answer

I have still not resolved this slow browser problem it doesn't matter what site I am trying to access most times I get a timeout message don't forget I am using Edge or Firefox not I.E. Edge seems to be the worst offender
