Hi I'm experiencing some weird issues recently and I think it may be because I have deferred and delayed the feature update from 'restarting' to update from 1709 to 1803. General use is not as snappy as it once was. Using Home version with SSD. If I double click This PC, it can take 2 - 3 seconds to fully show drives and folders. Opening a text file can also result in the same 2 - 3...

I have a custom PC and recently it's been having a lot of issues with starting up very slow (I'm running a SSD for OS). It also no longer recognizes my other 2 hard drives I have in it, and any maintenance programs it runs will run either part way or fail to run at all. Many of those same programs will not run again if I close out of them. If I power it down or restart it through Windows, it...

None of my windows apps will open. I have posted about this several times before with no help. So now I learned to live without most of those programs. Since Defender doesn't open either, can I disabled it? What about Edge, can that be disabled?
