I'm beginning to tire of it myself. I just dont know about learning a new OS all over again being worth the time.

There is really nothing to learn. If 90% of what you do is via the internet and a browser, than nothing is different at all. Well...except it is faster.

Download and install the following.
CCleaner - The world's most popular PC cleaner & optimization tool - Piriform
Run it at least three times a week. It has many features that will keep you're computer running nicely. It's great for checking to see what's loaded and running on your computer. It also has a great "uninstall" feature to remove unwanted programs. You can see what loads and runs at startup.
It just might be a solution for you. If you would like help finding out what's wrong with your computer, download and install "Download TeamViewer | TeamViewer" and I'll be able to check your computer for you.

That's not going to do a thing when the OS itself is the culprit.
Also keep in mind I use NoScript/ABP and Brave as a browser. I run Hijackthis occasionally also.

The Operating System works great for multi-millions of users. There's not a thing wrong with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Your problems are not Windows, Internet Explorer, nor a Microsoft related. Your problem seems to be some third party issue, which is easy to fix. I've been using Microsoft Windows Explorer for 22 years now, and haven't had issues, except for Windows Vista, which was a complete failure.

It sure sounds like you have something running in the background that's slowing your computer down. If you want help, just let me know. It's a free service that I provide to a lot of people. I've been doing it since 1995.

I switched to a Linux OS. It's called Elementary OS, and you can get it for about 5 dollars. It's almost exactly like using windows, as far as the GUI goes. I can't play some of my games on it, but I have my system set up for dual boot. I'm loving it. If you want to take the plunge, I can help you set it up.

Yeah, that something running in the background is called a forced Microsoft update and if you're running Win 10 and still using IE (not Edge) then you better have some serious protection on board.

Of course if you're like me you turn your computers off at night........ Plus you revert back to Win 7 and block all Win 10 upgrades now that Microsoft has finished blocking our ability to completely lock out background apps like Cortana.
