Windows acting funny.

[BunnyHunter67]

I downloaded a windows 10 update about two days ago and since then windows has been acting very strange. Some things will take FOREVER to do. Like open chrome for example. I click the hot bar icon I get a loading circle next to my cursor and then the circle disappears and nothing happens until around 5 min later when chrome will eventually open. Also I cant use the file browser. I can open it but if I right click on anything the file explorer stops responding and then my desktop goes blank background and everything. Along with my hot bar. I cant roll back the update because the same thing happens when I try to do so on the update history and the settings for updates. I have tried restarting and ran anti virus and malware programs. Thanks for the help!

when you first installed windows 10 was it a clean install or did you just do the update

if you are running a hard drive try a defrag

I did the update.

well theres the problem

 

a lot of people have problems like this because they just updated

seems like the recent w10 update tried to do something but something was wrong with your original windows 10, so it messed things up a lot because you didnt do a clean install

 

the only way to fix these OS problems is to do a full clean install

its nearly impossible to find what causes the issue, and even if yo do find it the only option is to revert or clean install

I did an upgrade from 8. How could I do a clean install without the disk or flash drive.

Do you think using the reset thing on windows 10 would fix it? (restores windows to the default fresh install)

maybe

ive never done resets, just clean installs

it would probably be better to just do a clean install, doing a reset leaves files behind

Don't reset, it doesn't make any difference.
