Computer slows significantly several minutes after windows login

[nije]

Please help me. My laptop slows down significantly several minutes after login.

What I did is I clicked the windows orb. It would load but only after about 1 minute. I've tried booting in SafeMode and the problem doesn't seem to appear. I already did the msconfig thing but no avail. This has been happening for around 2 weeks already. This computer is already being used for more than one year. I already performed reformat + system restore to the point that my laptop has almost nothing in it.

Like what happened just a while ago. It took almost 10 minutes for my laptop to completely shutdown when it is normally around 1 minute.

Have you tried running a sfc/scannow to find and possibly repair any corrupted system files? Heres a link to a tutorial on how to do that.

Welcome to the forums!

Finished doing SFC and it says that "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." But it's still the same.

Have you done any of these? I'm thinking its processes in the background slowing you down. Heres some tips :

I already reformatted my laptop. I was using it smoothly until I restarted the computer after installing the Elan Touchpad Driver. I am not sure if that's really the problem. I've tried uninstalling it and the problem occurred again. Would this mean hardware defect?

I made several restarts already before installing the said driver. I am also using Visual C# 2010 Express before restarting the computer.
