Start menu really slow

[Wandalynn]

Hey all!

Ok everything else on the computer seems to work fine. Everything is blazing fast except for my start menu. When ever I click on the windows logo and try to go into the start menu it can take up to 10-15 seconds to load up. Anyone have a fix to this?

Welcome!

How long has this been going on? You may want to try a repair install.

It has been going on for a few days now.

I already tried that yesterday

Actually it has pretty much been my entire windows explorer

If nothing else works, maybe you can resolve the problem by using the clean boot.

I followed the clean boot, and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks everyone!

Glad that I could help. The clean boot is excellent for diagnosing problems.
Wishing you all the best.
