Windows running too slow.

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I'm facing a problem for the past few weeks now. While opening some folders windows takes approximately 9-10 seconds to open it. Same thing happens when I 'select' that folder.

I've ran a complete antivirus scan and anti-spyware scan but found nothing.

Try Defragmentation Tool on all partitions of your HDD. IMO it happens a lot when there are fragmented files on HDD.

Make sure your HDD connectors are properly secured and engaged in their sockets.

in the task manager close all unnecessary processes...observe which process is utilizing the max cpu.

@Shahrukh... its not a virus or else all folders should behave the same.

@UZI... I closed all of the unnecessary processes but the problem stays.

Currently I'm defragmenting all of my drives. Lets see what happens. *This is a slow process :S*
