Uninstalling IE11

On a bad day, it can be like a turtle for sure however after running scan now and making a few alterations, Chrome is opening in 5 seconds, it all feels pretty instant now.

I don't know why running the Windows Disk Cleanup would cause major problems. I run it maybe once every 1-2 weeks without any problems. The main thing you want to select when your run it is "temporary files" since they slow the system. I'm running Opera, which is a Chrome browser, on this Vista system with 4 GB of RAM and it's not slow. Ditto with Firefox. Seems to me, there are other threads on Chrome being slow. There are some things here- Chrome Not Loading Pages? Here Are 7 Solutions that may help even though the issue is not exactly the same.

It was something to do with old windows updates being deleted and causing issues. I don’t recall the exact problem but made a mental note not to use it. I can still delete temp internet folders a different way. I have tried all of those suggestions for chrome. I timed it this morning, 81 seconds to open yet once it’s open I can open a new tab in 5 seconds. A common problem with chrome so it seems.

If we're talking about Disk Cleanup in Accessories, System Tools, it shouldn't affect any installed updates. If one uses things like registry cleaners and isn't really careful, they can screw things up in a hurray.

Perhaps something here will help-
