I've got a 10 year old Windows 10 PC. I am going to replace it probably in the next few months. I want a clone of my gaming PC.
But in the meantime I'm having to deal with my old one and it's driving me crazy. The biggest problem I have is with File Explorer. At times it will either lock up entirely or I get the slow moving green bar at the top like it's loading but it never finishes. Recently I've been using Bulk Rename Utility to clean up and rename a lot of files but sometimes out of say 20 files it will give an error on a few of them saying the file is open somewhere else and needs to be closed but it's not. Even if I try to delete them it gets the same error. That's when i have to restart the computer to clear it out and finish my renaming. So far this week I've had to restart 6 times.
Now the other problem is when I open up Edge, or Chrome I get a blank page for about 30 seconds before the home page pops up. Firefox is my default browser but even it will get a pause before totally loading a website. It takes Youtube about 20-30 seconds to fully load.
So I need some help to try and drag this thing along for now until I get a new one.
