    Are you running windows? If so, what version?

    For some reason this made me chuckle.
    I guess if it was this he probably wouldn't admit it

    OK well here's a quick thing that might help.

    Right click on a blank part of the bottom toolbar and select "Task Manager" then click on the Start-up tab.

    Look in the list for any programs that do not need to be running on startup and right click them and disable them.

    This should speed you up a bit if there's a lot of programs running in the background that don't need to be.

    Beat me to it. Sounds like the most likely solution..

    The one thing I can be proud of is I've not used my laptop for porn. Or social media, it's just for business purposes.

    I'm happy to take it anywhere for fixing and can rest easy that no one is gonna do me for gay midget porn

    Well done, you! Does this mean I have to do the same thing for all those files/folders? There's 100s!
