    Some apps take 6 seconds to start


    Hi guys,

    This issue is driving me crazy. Suddenly several apps such as Chrome or Spotify take exactly 6 seconds to run when they used to open instantly a couple days ago (my hard drive is a SSD M2). Funny thing is that this only happens with the admin account, not with other users. I formated and reinstalled Windows 10 and everything was okay for some hours, but now I got the same issue. I have tried everything, it's really frustrating.

    Could you guys help me? Thanks in advance and sorry about my English.

  3. Stuck at OneDrive screen during Surface Pro 6 initial setup

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Try the below suggested steps.

    Method 1

    1. Unplug all the external devices except Mouse and Keyboard.
    2. Try to reboot the device and check the status of the issue.
    Method 2

    I would suggest you to perform Power drain by following the suggested steps.

    1. Press and hold the Power Button down for 30-40 seconds.
    2. Hold the Volume Rocker up and Power ON for almost 20 second.
    3. Release the power button and wait for next 10-15 seconds.
    4. Press the power button to turn on your Surface and check the status of the issue.

    Hope it helps.
