Initial Load of Folder/Directory Takes 10 Minutes - Slow
My Win 7 recently crashed. I believe it was due to a problem with an antivirus software update.
I was unable to return to Windows but was able to get into Safe Mode. From there, I was instructed by MS Tech to turn off all of my non-MS services through msconfig.
Then I successfully boot into Windows.
Now the computer opens and shuts down very quickly because unnecessary programs are no longer booting on startup.
There is only one mysterious issue that I am trying to resolve and I hope that someone here can steer me in the right direction.
The *initial* load of a folder (directory) takes nearly 10 minutes to load -- way too long.
After that, folders load quickly, so it is just an initial loading issue.
And the same problem does not apply to a document or program, just a folder.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue? It is possible that a service was turned off or switched to Disable and not Manual or Automatic that is needed for this functionality but I have not determined which one.
Can anyone here help me figure it out?
