I think it was Gigabyte smart switch but i cant even find help or anything of it being slow

If you open task manager, do you see anything unusual? If nothing shows, the Sysinternals tools are useful to work out what is blocking you.

I uninstalled it and installed start menu x works better and faster

What is start menu x? what did you uninstall?

I'm not a fan of anything that modifies the way explorer works. They never work 100% as they should.

I use classic shell which is free and I can get the windows 7 one back which I like a lot more!
