My computer has completely slowed down after a microsoft update on 5/11/2016. It takes fifteen to twenty minute for each navigation to complete online and offline... The clock has the correct time after booting the system but the time doesn't change at all... My system was fine before the update....
If anyone has any ideas of whats happening or any solutions, I would appreciate the feedback.

Didn't see that here.

My old test laptop is a 2009 Sony Vaio with 4GB RAM and the olde Core2Duo. It's still speedy.

But it's very stock and I didn't install Ronton's Super Antivirus Suite. I've left it with Windows Defender and Grif's set of tools.

Need an update of the update...

I also have some issues with that update. Wireless adapter is behaving badly. Fortunately, I have an internet connection, even though it says not connected. I also had to restore desktop icons and my connection to google calendar is very strange. I am doing a deep scan for virus and malware, but do believe the update is the culprit. I was surprised that there were no other responses to your post. Maybe you and I are the only ones that had problems since the update... This is one more sign that I should do a better job backing up and creating restore points.

Why Not Use System Restore to Before Update?
May 14, 2016 10:56AM PDT

Restore from a system restore point

Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and then select Control Panel.
Search Control Panel for Recovery.
Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

Once that's done, try using Windows Update but only update one at a time till you find the culprit.. DON'T install any drivers offered.

Hope this helps.
