Hi Ray,
Try turning off windows updates, any improvement, on a side not what is the date the last bunch were installed.

Hi Ray,

Try to uninstall some programs & application which is not so important.
How much space is empty.
If the free space is too small, it may have some affect.
Check the Date & Time.
It may affect some application that rely on.
I found out that date/time do affect Android Play Store.
I already tried turning Windows Update off, no help. The last Windows updates were installed this week. There are 2 optional updates that will not install though. One of them is IE 11. Tried over and over but would never install.
It has taken me 5 minutes just to type this. Screen goes cloudy and hour glass on like something is trying to open.
Did you see anything on my Resource Monitor screen shots that gives you any clues?
220 Mb used and 60 Mb free on hard drive.
Hi Ray,
can you boot to safe mode with networking
then go
ControlPanel > adminTools > SystemConfig >
boot Tab, hide MS services, copy/paste items, then startup tab copy/paste items
(note if you see any programs that you use occasionally set them to manual in services)
I assume your running IE10?,
FSViewer is using most of your system resources, as i said above if you dont use it often set to manual.
Have you used any registry cleaners/Tune-up utilities?

Did you check what processes are running too? and as Roy has asked try using something like CCleaner to tidy up your system. You can clean the machine of unwanted rubbish and the registry check is another feature you can use as long as before you apply the fixes you save the reg entries it finds first in order to merge them back if thta does not work out.
With using the cleaner do click on Options once it has run and save the cookies that are associated with any passworded sites you use so you are not forever signing onto them.
CCleaner - Free Download - Piriform < I prefer this site rather than the Filehippo that sometimes pops up.
Another tutorial for you to read through and use is this Optimize Windows 7 you may lose soem of the "bling" like transparency though.
Ok, here's what I've done so far:
Answer: Yes it is GB not MB on my hardrive space.
Answer: I'm running IE 11.0.15.
No, defrag had not stopped. Stopped it under CPU Resource Monitor. Reran Analysis/Defrag again and it found 0%. Checked to see if it was still running after that and it wasn't.
Ran CCleaner and cleared a bunch of stuff. Seemed to help a bunch at first but it's right back to slow response. Sounds like the hard drive is still running. Taken me about 10 minutes just to write this post.
Tried MS Word again and it is still responding very slow.
Ran Malwarebytes and found one particular group of files which, based on the name, was corruption of some sort. It's name contained random alphabet characters about 20 characters long.
Uninstalled FSViewer, no help.
Haven't been able to boot in safe mode yet. Will not react when I press F12, it goes ahead with normal restart of windows. I'll keep trying.
So where do you think I should go from here? Thanks for the help.
Did you delete what Malwarebytes found?
Re my other question any registry editors/Tune-up progs used?
Still like to see the sysconfig screenshots.
