Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows 10 1803 Pro is Very Slow after using Windows Repair 4.30
« on: October 28, 2018, 05:17:22 am »
Here's some history:
I used the free version recently & liked what it did & how it did it. Then saw discount via MajorGeeks.com & purchased the Pro version... entered the code & all good.
Started the program & was doing all the "pre" tests. I then noticed the "do this in Safe Mode" banner, allowed sfc.exe /SCANNOW to finish, activated the "boot into safe mode" from within the application, and rebooted into Safe Mode. While going into safe mode I noticed the "scanning and repairing drive G:" message which is unusual... none of the other HDDs (C:, D:, E:, F:, H:, & J: (USB)) had this message.
When I arrived in Safe Mode, everything was very slow. I know "slow" is one of the most difficult issues to diagnose & correct... but there is no other way to describe it. Programs that took less than a second to start now take more than a minute. But they do start.
I ran Windows Repair which finally loaded & seemed to get going ok. It stopped on about repair number 4 (I think) after several retries of that repair & gave up. There are logs available I'm sure.
So I've booted back to normal Windows, still get scanning drive G: message, still painfully slow.
I thought that since I did all the pre-work before the fix-work, then restore to previous restore point should do the trick. My first attempt failed using the most recent point with the name "T"... it runs for hours & when I woke this morning the system had rebooted but nothing had changed. I now have the opportunity to reverse that failed attempt. I have picked the next most recent... it's still running... has been running for hours and I'm about to go to bed again & leave it on it's own. This message is on the screen:
Is there something else I should attempt rather than restore from a previous point? I hope to hear from someone soon...
