Hi I wonder if anyone can help me before I completely restore my laptop! Yesterday it developed some problem, and I cannot fix it. When closed down the previous night, everything was fine.
Firstly, the laptop took over 15 minutes to load up. Once loaded, everything is so slow and unresponsive. When I open an application, its minutes before anything happens. Web sites are constantly “Not Responding”, and it took me over 10 minutes to scroll down a similar thread to my issue on this site. Sadly, that thread didn’t give me any answers.
I have already run Malwarebytes, a full Microsoft Security Essentials virus scan (took 5 hrs), Advanced System Care Pro Deep Care (which fixed the usual cookies, registry info, etc), and restored the computer to an earlier date. Malwarebytes and MS Essentials came back clear, no problems.
The orange hard disk light is on the front of the laptop is constantly on.
In safe mode, the laptop runs perfectly – nice and fast, no problems.
CHKDSK /R /F (there are blank spaces before slashes) and then
SFC /SCANNOW (there is a blank space before the slash)
After the above commands are run, run the cleanmgr.exe and the defrag.exe (the defragmentation program) to consolidate your HDD.
You may also turn off indexing service at the system drive.
