Shane:
During the time of startup and shutdown is the hard drive light fully lit up?

Once the system is booted does anything that requires reading or writing to the drive seem really slow as well? Opening any program would do it as it has to read the program from the drive.

Also have you do a bad sector check on the hard drive yet?

Paul:
Thanks guys.
Below is the results of the commands entered.  I copied and pasted from cmd.exe. and attached is the DISM log file which has warnings and errors stated.  (They mean little to me)
I followed all the directions starting form step 1 in Windows Repair v3.8.1, including Disk checking.  I also used Advanced System Care 9.1 to do complete checks including disk checks.  CHKDSK found 1 error and fixed.  I have been putting the computer to sleep instead of shutdown because turning it back on is fast and opening other programs seem to be normal.  I didn’t notice the hard drive light.
I found the administrator commands on MS website to let me use administrator functions.  Did I do this right?  I won’t shutdown or unplug (both a daily habit) until this is confirmed.   Below it says I need a password.  I didn’t put one in when loading Windows 10.
Here is the cmd.exe results:

Boggin:
Once you have activated the hidden admin account, you need to reboot to log in through the Admin icon that is now on the desktop.
