Computer taking ages to install programs.

[Krup]

My pc is fine apart from trying to install anything, so if i go into a folder then double click the program to install, then the file explorer will just freeze but it doesnt say its not responding and then it will take about 10 mins for the program i clicked to install to open and then i can just install it fine. but i dont get why it takes so long and freezes.

Windows OS issue most likely.

cmd -> sfc /scannow otherwise search manually for new updates and install those.
If neither fixes it, might try a reinstall.

 

Unless your SSD is filled up close or at its maximum capacity or your computer shows any other “strange” behavior, I’m like 90% sure it's just windows being crap again.
 

Theoretically it could also be that your SSD is “damaged”, but I’m fairly certain this would show in in more ways than just installing programs. But still, run windows checkdisk if you think this could be the case.

i did checks it all seems fine. no updates i dont think. and i recently reinstalled windows 10 about two weeks ago, my SSD is 160GB/232GB, so plenty left.

Wired, but if it's fixed than all is good.

Maybe it moved some "broke" sectors around or rather noticed them due to the check.
