My computer suddenly began running terrible.

[RejectedPotato]

Wasn't sure how else to name this since I have gotten numerous problems after booting my PC.

-All icons are displayed as a blank page
-Cannot search for anything locally on my computer
-Takes 10 minutes to open file explorer (was about to say I wasn't able to when it opened while creating this thread)
-Viewing any folder will result in infinite loading (picture below)
-Cannot open any applications via WinKey + X

Basically my computer has suddenly decided to be ridiculously slow.

What I have tried:
-Restarting my PC
-Running a virus scan (In progress)
-System scan (sfc /scannow in cmd)

I have PC specs if needed.

can you boot into safe mode?

would look into downloading and running combofix

 

[captaincharisma]

well the first thing is you are running a beta version of an OS

 

[Godloki]

try system restore

 

[vagrantsoul]

also, are your ram dimms in the proper channel slots... this happened when someone took a pc i built and stacked the ram next to each other instead of the proper matching slots.

Combofix isn't compatible with Win10. Tried to run using compatibility mode but I couldn't even access the properties of the application since my PC is acting so slow.

Yes, kind of major issue since the OS is supposedly getting it's full release at the end of this month, don't you think?

try system restore

Do not have a restore point.

also, are your ram dimms in the proper channel slots... this happened when someone took a pc i built and stacked the ram next to each other instead of the proper matching slots.

Yes, they are in the correct spot.

get crystaldiskinfo (make sure to get the portable version because it doesn't have ads) and screen shot what it shows you

Issues DO NOT occur when in safe mode. Would the cause most likely be a service or startup item?

 

[urmamasllama]

Well that at least eliminates the drives as a cause. you can never be too careful about checking for drive failures because they can appear suddenly and unexpectedly and they can present themselves in a number of strange ways.

Was the system running fine using Win10 and suddenly started running poorly, or did the problems begin with the installation of 10? Usually when safe mode works fine but the OS is bad otherwise, it's a driver related issue, but that may not be the case. What are your system hardware specs and are you fully up to date on all insider preview updates?

Had no internet for past 2 wks. Ended up fixing it by reinstalling Win10.
