You do have a lot of browsers installed, maybe trying to uninstall the ones you dont use. Myself, I have never had no use for all those browsers you have installed, there really not needed

Yeah I am just trying something weird and testing stuff hence why all the browsers. Some of these are suspiciously badly made, like with trackers or something I guess? Just about 1 or 2 maybe though…What I don't get is why say it starts like 10 entries in processes for just 1 browser page, it's so messed up. But regardless, I feel its browsers and maybe other installs I did recently that is weighing heavily on Windows's bad archiving or whatever it is that it does in winsix so yeah…Will just try some uninstalls.

You can use Revo Uninstaller Free version to uninstall, it does a better job than the Programs and Features in the Control Panel

 

Revo Uninstaller is more thorough in deleting programs on your computer than using the Add/Remove option in Windows. Since it is a more powerful tool, please be sure to follow the instructions carefully. You just need the Free Version
 
If the program you want to uninstall is not listed by Revo, let me know.
 
Please download and install Revo Uninstaller Free
 
There is no need to click anything on that page, the download will start automatically
  •  
  • Double click Revo Uninstaller to run it
  • From the list of programs double click on the listed program(s), or anything similar, to remove it:
 
 
 
 
  •  
  • When prompted if you want to uninstall click Yes
  • Be sure the Moderate option is selected then click Next
  • The program will run, If prompted again click Yes
  • When the built-in uninstaller is finished click on Next
  • Once the program has searched for leftovers click Next
  • Check the items in bold only on the list then click Delete
  • Note: you may have to expand some folders by clicking the "+" mark
  • When prompted click on Yes and then on Next
  • Put a check on any folders that are found and select Delete
  • When prompted select Yes then Next
  • Once done click Finish

Lol I was just about to aks about that in fact…a better way to uninstall cause I had some troubles before, a few apps that just won't be gone even after using Windows. So thanks for being ahead of it…

I think I also wanted to report how it was doing but I kind of forget…must be details then. Comp is just odd at times, like yesterday it took forever in a black screen before Windows Profile loaded but not since. It's just weird, I think its because Windows always seems to perform worse with time and needs regular re-installs. Anyway thanks a lot…

Right it seems anything else I might have to work on is a different subject so I best do it elsewhere. Thanks again for everything and the suggestions, so we can consider this resolved perfectly :).

I think some Windows repairs sounds like just what I need in fact, but that doesn't need to continue here. As for Windows 10, I am just not really into it. Kind of suspicious plus not sure it will be ok performance wise for the laptop.

Anyway, see you around (although hopefully not, lol). Salutations!

I have had Windows 10 since the first day it come out and its running with no problems. Remember after July, if you decide to upgrade you will have to purchase it.  

 

Take care my friend
