Lenovo i5 8g ram slow boot time

[phillpower2]

did Windows Defender activate, scan and install updates and had you restarted the PC after uninstalling 360 AV

Need a direct answer to the above, your screenshot does not tell us what we are asking.

See the attachment below which shows the last time Defender scanned my computer.

Hi. Okay I’ve sorted Defender out. I now have it enabled and updated as per your screen shot
Ive rebooted multiple times since and the elapsed boot time seems to have regressed to when I had 360 installed

That would suggest that 360 AV or traces of it are still present and causing conflicts with Windows Defender.

Can you post a new Speccy url for us.

Thanks and as was mentioned in my reply #18 has happened.

Being that we cannot find the second installation of 360 AV we may have to move the thread to malware removal where they have special tools that can sort this type of issue. 360 AV or orphaned files could be in the Windows registry or even hiding in a web browser.

What is set as your default web browser.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

default browser is edge

Which is real slooow

Download and install Chrome, make it your default browser, restart and see if the computer boots up any different.

Being that the OP revisited the forum but chose not to reply this thread will be marked and closed.
