Paul:
My previous post "Re: Problem with Network Adapter or Access Point " was solved but the "it takes over 10 minutes to start up and shutdown the Asus computer" wasn't addressed.  It now takes over 15 minutes.  Now The Windows icon in the bottom left corner of the screen does not work.  Also, right clicking on the desktop to access  "display settings" or "personalize' gives me the message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."  The problems are multiplying since the first time Windows Repair v3.8.1 and Driver Booster 3 (16 "extremely old drivers") was used.   I have followed all the instructions in Windows Repair v3.8.1 again to try to resolve these problems.  I have run CC Cleaner,  Advanced System Care 9.1, IObit Malware Fighter, Avast! scan and boot-scan and now Windows Repair v3.8.1.  Windows Repair v3.8.1 has been running in Safe Mode for over 6.5 hours and it still isn't finished.  I've been working on this almost exclusively for 2 days and on and off for a week.  It would have been faster and easier just to format the drive and start again.
What's next?
Thanks

If it worked okay for a day after running WR, then WR may not have been to blame.

Can you open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth

This will tell you if the system has any problems and if it is repairable.

If it says you have and it's repairable, then enter these two cmds - the latter may take some time -

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Then follow that up with a sfc /scannow to see what that reports.

If you still have problems then I would suggest a Refresh.

You will have to reinstall any paid for programs but if you opt for keeping your personal stuff, that will be retained.

I copied and pasted the first command into the run box “dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth”.  Nothing appeared on the screen for 10 minutes.  I then accessed the Internet and did some surfing.  30 minutes later it was still no response to the command.
Then I typed CMD and got a black box titled cmd.exe.  I copied the first line again and got
“Error: 740
Elevated permissions are required to run DISM.
Use an elevated command prompt to complete these tasks.”
I searched the Internet to find out how to run this as an administrator.  The solution I got was to use the windows logo in the bottom left corner which doesn’t work on my computer.
What’s next?
Thanks again.

With a little more digging I found out how to run as an administrator.  Typing the
"dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth" command again I got
“No component store corruption detected. 
The operation completed successfully”
What’s next?
Thanks again.

Boggin:
Did you also do the /restorehealth and sfc /scannow commands from the elevated cmd prompt to see what they reported ?
