I had a problem with a program that I thought I'd be able to solve by doing a system restore. The side effects however were too severe and made me undo the system restore. After the undo, the problems weren't solved at all...
My computer boots as fast as it did before, but almost none of my startup programs still start up. (in the task manager under the tab where the startup items are, they're still listed and active)
If I shut down or restart, my system takes about 3-5 minutes to do so (it stays in the windows 8 shutdown screen)
Programs take quite a while longer to boot up (where Word booted up in about 3-4 seconds, it now takes about 20 seconds, the same is true for Powerpoint and Visual Studio).
The last problem (that I currently know of) is that Outlook 2013 stays stuck at the splash screen and says 'loading profile'. I can't get it to open at all, even in Safe mode it won't budge...
What can possibly cause this kind of behaviour? I already scanned for registry problems with CCleaner and for malware with Malwarebytes.
edit: More problems found, if I try to go to the Windows Update screen, explorer hangs, and when I try to run things like DISM or sysscan in an elevated cmd, it doens't even start to do something...
I'm in the middle of my exams, so this is quite problematic. – M. Boeckx – 2015-01-13T22:10:58.507
