    Slow login and Start Menu not responding

    Hello. I have a problem with my laptop.

    I noticed I had a SYSTEM Z drive and following the advice by a Microsoft member, I changed my permissions through "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object".

    Next i ran defender and found something in quarantine called "brolo", or at least that was the only memorable part of the quarantined file. I noticed at the same time the general speed went way down, to the point where clicking on one thing in the Task
    Manager left it non-responding. I restarted the computer as defender suggested.

    The first thing I noticed was that my laptop had a very slow login. The start bar wasn't responding, neither was the window key. I used task manager to restart Windows Explorer only to have the start bar stop responding again. I must say again - it appears
    that everything else works - with the exception of the start bar. I can check my files on Windows Explorer and with the exception of time updating and applications appearing on the bottom right of the start bar i cannot click on them, or interact with cortana,
    or click on the start menu, or even use the windows key.

    Please help, this is a brilliant and new laptop and I've had no problems with Windows 10 until now.
