Windows 10: Start menu, action center and windows explorer take time to load up

hi,

I face this problem for the past few months. Each program takes around 10+ seconds to open. Start menu takes around 4 seconds, action center takes 4 seconds and windows explorer takes more than 10 seconds to open. Same in the case of opening programs like chrome, vlc, ms office, acrobat reader, etc. The delay is only for the first time i open these programs after a power on. After the first time opeing, it opens within 2 seconds(mostly).

I tried all the usual settings for faster performance(adjust for best performance, sfc scan, temp files cleared, paging file size, etc, etc).
Please give some solution.

:)

 

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

Unfortunately that doesn't disable Action Center, all it does it cause Acution Center to bitch about the Security Center service not running.

Action Center seems to be a different beast from Security Center...

And telling it to not display any messages gets it out of the way, the same way disabling the icon in the suggestions above does, but Action Center is still enabled and running.

 

Action Center and Start Menu Continually Fail


Device: Surface Pro 4
OS: Fully Updated Windows 10

Issue: Action Center and Start Menu continually fail.
Symptoms: After an unpredictable amount of time, Action Center and Start Menu will not open using multiple prompts. Action Center will not respond to taskbar link or swipe from the right and Start Menu will not respond to task bar click or keyboard button.

Troubleshooting:

• I have done several SFC scans (the first few found stuff and repaired it and subsequent runs find nothing)
• I've done the DISM image restore health hocus pocus to no avail.
• I've executed "Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }" in an elevated powershell. This works, until it doesn't.

EDIT: Nothing is working now for troubleshooting. Going to try a restart and see how long until it happens again.


​None of these are permanent solutions. Any ideas as what is causing this and how to stop it from happening?

 

Start Menu & Action Center?

I noticed that if I leave my computer alone for a while the start menu & action center will not open, but if I go into task manger and look for "Windows Shell Experience Host" click end task the start menu & action center will open again, but I have to
do this every time I leave my computer alone for a certain amount of time. Any reasons as to why? it's really annoying.
