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
