    programms startup slow on (almost) fresh win7 install


    Hello everybody.
    I recently reinstalled win7 after several years of successful usage.
    Today, about two weeks after resintall, programms started to start slowly. Small programs that used to go up in less that a second now take 10-20 secs. Sometimes, closing and restarting it immediately comes up instantly, but after a minute or so things go back to worse.


    Only thing that comes to mind is that I installed OpenVDB client for testing, but removed it and rebooted machine several times.

    I'm running defragmentation for night, but I don't have high expectations here ...

    Any tips how can I debug this ?

    thanks,
    -michal

    PS. what would you recommend for HDD helth check (free)?
