Every time when I boot up my pc it takes forever to load and gives me this error 'microsoft windows. this application is not responding' and when I open up file explorer, teamspeak and winrar it gives me the same error. Can anyone help me please
 

Is this new behavior from a once working Windows 10 installation or has it never worked?

 

Go to the Micro$oft website, and download the most current image of whatever version of Windows 10 you can. Then using the Media Creation tool to burn a bootable installation image onto a flash drive or DVD. Boot to that, and do a clean install of Windows. You want to disconnect every HDD except the drive you want Windows installed to.

Good Luck!

 

What part didn't work? The media creation tool, the download of CLEAN windows installation files, or the actual install of windows 10?
Details are important. A two word reply with a frown emoticon does NOT convey any helpful diagnostic data.
How old is the HDD? It is possible that it is dying.
