Basically, my PC is slow to load any new program. Windows,
I can run games fine once they start but they can take upwards of 10 minutes to start.
I can see my blank desktop background on start up then it loads the taskbar and shortcuts after about 60 seconds.
Looking at task manager, which is also slow to load, I can see nothing is maxing out anything on performance. All of the programs just stay at 0% CPU usage.
Even windows slows to the point of saying explorer.exe is not responding. End task or wait?
Just for laughs I told it to cancel once and all it did was remove my taskbar.
Can all of this be caused by just hard drives? Because they seem to do it even when not in the red.
They defrag automatically daily.
Also another thing which may be related is I can delete large files near instantly but if its a series of small files they take ages. As if the size is not what matters but the number of files.
But the weirdest thing is, once they start, they run fine. Need to load something in the program? No worries. Need to save or delete something? Fine. Need to open a new folder or menu? You are going to need to wait for about 2 minutes for the menu to respond.
Worst part is it isn't the same for every program or every day... That is, its fairly random. Some are worse than others always but still varies. For instance, right now I've had FarCry 2 loading for about 30 minutes, most games are about 5-10 minutes. Google chrome takes about 2, firefox 60 seconds.
Any advice would be awesome, this is driving me nuts.
