I am at my wits’ end with Windows 10 on my PC.
For the last couple of weeks after startup the PC runs extremely slowly. For example, it will take minutes to perform a button click event.
Now, I have tried the following:
- Started in Safe Mode to check for errors – this is running fine
- Made sure there is plenty of space
- Turned off any unnecessary programs from start up and services
- Changed Performance settings virtual memory and animation
- Windows didn't give me the option to remove Creator Update from Recovery – I don’t know if this is anything to do with this version being an upgrade to Windows 10 from 8
None of these seem to work. I am reluctant to do a reinstall because I don't think I will have the opportunity to do a backup.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can do?

1You only have 15 days to revert a feature update starting with 1703. It has nothing to do with you upgrading from Windows 8. Your installation is identical to a clean installation minus the fact you kept your user profile and installed programs – Ramhound – 2017-11-11T15:43:25.110
So do you have any idea why I am getting this problem then – Andy5 – 2017-11-11T15:49:50.540
Could you provide (Pastebin link will do) a list of drivers installed on your computer? http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_drivers_list.html might present it well.

– magicandre1981 – 2017-11-11T16:11:17.647Made no difference. This was working before Creators went on. I have tried removing software, it can't do it, I can't do back ups. It will load fine and then grinds to halt – Andy5 – 2017-11-11T17:32:26.543
reinstall Windows with 1703 ISO and hide the 1709 update
– magicandre1981 – 2017-11-12T08:31:21.567I did download an iso and made it bootable. However, when tried to install it I couldn't. There are two issues here: one my PC is UEFI and two I cannot tell from the partition manager which partition is Windows 10 and the other my Linux distro – Andy5 – 2017-11-12T11:02:07.317
It is really running like a dog. After the first minute of startup it is fine but after that minute it takes minutes to run open a window, etc – Andy5 – 2017-11-12T11:03:37.217
capture a boot trace and analyze it maybe the disk is busy at start and causes the delay for 1 minute. With Rufus you can create USb drives which are UEFI compatible. – magicandre1981 – 2017-11-12T18:32:32.433
