Super slow Win 10

[mushtafa]

I've built a new system today, new Win 10 install.

I was installing software and setting things up when the system pretty much stopped to respond.

I realised Windows update was waiting to restart, so let it carry on. I also let if fully update, and no more updates are found.

The system is still super slow. Windows Explorer doesn't load up, I just get the green bar at the top. Windows settings, and add/remove programs barely works.

Hardware monitor isn't showing anything amiss. I'm pretty sure it's software issue.

Can anyone advice where to start?

What specs? Was it the latest Windows installer from MS site?
A reinstall takes such a small amount of time that I'd probably start from there.

This is what I've done now. Not sure what happened, but I'll keep checking it after every installation of software

It's been fine since I reinstalled. Think it was a silly Windows error somewhere.
