Opening Documents Slow

(1/2) > >>

Oscar:
Hi when i open documents it takes awhile to open.

But when i open it again it opens faster.

Turn computer off, restart and do the same thing and slow again.

Why is this, can it be fixed?

Thanks in advance

Willy2:
What kind of documents ? Text , PDF, *.ppx, ..... ? And with what programs ? MS Word, Open Office, Foxit PDF reader, Powerpoint (viewer), ....... ?

Sounds like your AV is slowing down the opening of files. Do you have multple AV programs running ? E.g. WinDefender & AVAST ? If you have e.g. AVAST AV you can disable the WinDefend Service.

Oscar:
Thank you for your reply

PDF, Microsoft Office Documents Word, Access etc, Outlook, Note pad seems to be pretty good.

Also when i close the email it can take awhile before i can open/work with the computer.

Just have Avast?

How do i disable the Windend Services?

Thanks again

Willy2:
If the AVAST firewall (or another brand of firewall) is already running on your computer then you can disable the Microsoft Firewall (Service) as well. Here's one way to do it. Use Tweaking.com's "Window Repair" (WR) !!!

1. make the following changes in the file "Services_startup.txt" (in a subfolder of WR).
- "sc config MpsSvc start= automatic"   ===>   "......... start= disabled" (MS Firewall).
- "sc config WinDefend start= automatic"   ===>   "......... start= disabled" (MS Windows Defender).
2. Tick the box "Set services to default ........." in WR.
3. Run WR & restart your computer. Done.
Following this procedure allows WR in the future to repair your MS Firewall but then the MS Firewall simply remains switched off.

Shane:
Disable the antivirus completely and see if it speeds things up.
