I have an issue in which programs are not responding or it will take very long to load. I've restarted in safe mode with networking and ran all of my usual programs without issue but after restarting to normal windows with zero startup programs the issue still occurs. I have even tried reinstalling windows and sfc but it doesn't help.Any information on this will be helpful.
 
Have you tried running "MSCONFIG" to see what is running at startup? There may be something that starts when you boot normally but doesn't start in safe mode. Another option is to check Processes and Services under Task Manager to see what is running and what is using a lot of memory.

Yes I have disabled all startup programs using msconfig but the issue still occurs , there's a bunch of services running (mostly system related)which is below 10% of CPU usage , I have 16gb of memory too , never maxed it out.

Yeah I've tried chkdsk sfc and any programs I could find but there seems to be no signs of disc errors or registry errors or malware.I have even tried reinstalling windows even though that failed.

I've tried a bunch of other programs, none of them seem to give me any errors
 
I'm still looking into finding a way to help you solve this. What puzzles me is that the programs run fine in safe mode but not in normal mode. Something must be loading during the normal boot process that is the culprit. Especially strange since you have disabled all of the items in startup. What anti-virus or malware program are you using? If it is disabled do you still have the same problem with programs not responding?

I have been using trend micro ( it refuses to not start on boot)but have since uninstalled it , I have noticed a few other services which run on startup but those were installed long ago when my computer was still working.
 


Have you scanned for viruses since this started happening? Just trying to rule out a virus or some type of malware. You may have already tried this but have you checked to see what process/applications/services happen to be running when a program fails to respond?

Yes, that was the first thing i thought of,I think I owe you a more detailed explanation.

Programs would be not responsive or would open and than just close , not minimise into the background , just appear in the taskbar and than immediately close.Sometimes even internet explorer would crash over and over agiain. At one point even windows photo viewer would not open.

My first reaction was to test for virus or malware but after using purchased and a few downloaded demos nothing suspicious seemed to turn up.I have installed little software during that timespan ( which come from reputable sites) and my laptop which runs some of those software is still working without issue.

I couldnt find any solutions either which is why I posted here , I have WinASO registry booster but not sure what could cause such a serious problem because about 40% of my applcations have this issue
