I have a two year old Asus laptop running Windows10. Yesterday when I opened it, it was on the log in screen, so obviously had ran an update during the night. Yesterday it was a bit slow and photos on Facebook weren't loading. Today when I opened it it had got much worse with practically nothing loading on Facebook and other websites very slow. I use AVG free antivirus and ran a scan which showed up nothing. I tried to download Malware bytes but the download just hangs after a few kb. Same with ccleaner. Tonight I tried a system restore to a week ago. It took forever but did eventually work, however nothing has changed, still the exact same problems. After this chrome wouldn't open at all. Can anyone help me sort this out? Many thanks!

Hi Annie7 and welcome to FpcH
If the System Restore was successful then the M$oft update would have been removed.
I have a few questions:
Is it slow booting up from a complete shut-down ?
If it boots up OK ,,,,
What is it like if you turn AVG off ?
Do you have any other Anti-Virus running [ Defender for instance ] ?
In the Search Box type ......defender ....
Windows Defender Settings will pop up on the left side of screen.
What is the exact Model number of your Asus laptop ?

Hi Ken
Thank you for your reply.
Yes it is slow to fully load since Friday. I have removed AVG and switched on defender for now. It's an Asus x556ua.
I've tried again to download some cleaning tools but I get the error message failed network error. I did manage to slowly download Malware bytes chameleon but when I tried to extract it there was no set up exe. It tried to go online to download this itself but download failed on three times.

I ran a speed test and it was practically zero so I switched off/on the router and the speed is flying again and allowing me to download everything. No threats found on any malware program so all seems good again and running properly. Simple fix after all, which I should have tried first! Will do a thorough clean out during the week just to be sure. Thanks again for your help.
