I was using my computer like normal and everything was fine, couldn't connect to a friend's WiFi so I restarted my computer. It took over 30 minutes to boot back up, with half that time being on my desktop loading applications. Everything that I tried to click was being very slow. I Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up task manager and that took 5 minutes to pull up. Saw that disk usage was at 100%, but the programs that were running fluctuated in percentage being used by Win 10. The main culprits right now are Service Host: Local Service, Service Host: Local System, Microsoft Software Protection something, Google Chrome (even though I don't have it open), settings, System etc. These are never at the same time, 3 or 4 fluctuate very rapidly (changes every second) under my disk column.
Under my performance tab I have Active Time 100%, Read speed 0.0 KB/s-880 KB/s (it fluctuates), write speed 0.0 KB/s-28.7 KB/s, my average response time goes from 2000-9000 ms (again, it changes every second)
I've tried a lot of things suggested from Google, but I haven't found a thread where the person's computer has been super slow, just slow (5 minutes long) boot up times. My problem surpasses the boot up.
I turned off SuperSearch, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, I even tried reseting my computer. It went through a 2 hour process, only to turn on and say that something went wrong and my PC wasn't reset. I restarted my computer a couple of times but it still goes through the same long boot up process.
I'm currently trying to expand my virtual memory, but EVERY click I do takes minutes to load. The currently allocated memory is already at 8192 MB, so I don't think that is the problem. Now it's asking me to restart my computer, which I'm afraid to do because I know it'll take 30+ minutes to become SLIGHTLY functional again.
I'm very frustrated, I've been at it since yesterday afternoon and nothing has changed, I've got a mountain of schoolwork to get done and I'm really hoping someone will help me find a solution.
My laptop is a samsung NP550P5C-T01US. I'm running Windows 10, upgraded over a month ago from Windows 7. 8 GBs of ram, Intel i7-3610QM CPU @2.30 Ghz 2.30 Ghz, 64 bit system, my disk is Hitachi HTS727575A9E364. Under Performance in Task Manager, my CPU is at 0%, Memory 20%, Disk 100%
At the end of writing this, I'm going to restart my computer after changing the virtual memory, doubt that will work but will update the post.
EDIT: Rebooted computer, still very slow so virtual memory didn't change anything. Currently going through the painstaking process of disabling Windows Defender
