Hello there: firstly, my setup looks like this: WIndows 10 Home, ("upgraded" from Win 7) 8GB RAM, Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3,20 GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 970. On Tuesday the 8th of march, I started downloading The Division (the game) in the morning, and set the settings so that the PC would go into energy saving mode after 5 hours, as I predicted the download would last for at least 3 and a half hours. When I got home after 8 hours, after I woke the PC up, the game was downloaded but my mouse was not reacting properly to the movements I made. The mouse arrow was lagging seconds behind my movement, and was not moving fluently. I restarted my PC, and when booting up, the PC was showing me the message: "Scanning for storage problems" in ( C: ) and then ( D: ) and ( F: ), which are my 3 hard drives. I've got a 120GB SSD from Samsung ( C: ), a 500GB SATA ( D: ), and a 3TB SATA ( F: ). After that, the PC message read: "repairing errors". My PC usually boots up very fast, so I was wondering why, after the "repair" was finished and after I entered my password, the PC booted up very slowly compared to normally. After it had booted up, I did a complete virus check, as I suspected it to be a virus. (I used avast! premium security). There were also some things happening that I can't explain: 1. My taskbar was missing an icon, (I found out afterwards it was the Windows Mail program) 2. When I want to click on the Windows logo to open the "Start" menu, nothing happens, and no start menu opens. 3. I also had some performance issues in other areas, like when playing a game, I can't "tab" out (alt + tab) as fast, or not at all any more, which wasn't the case before. 4. My PC still boots up very slowly compared to before, and in general, loading times of opening programs & data etc. have increased.
I usually keep all my drivers and Windows system up to date. Does anyone have a reasoning and solution on how to fix this? Thank you very much, I appreciate your time.
