Solved System running slow at start

[stroslose]

Finished removing files and updating with FileHippo.

Thank you for all of your help, it is very much appreciated!

My computer still sounds like a jet getting ready to take off though. Not as frequently, but it does still occur. Not sure why this is happening.

My computer still sounds like a jet getting ready to take off though

Is it desktop, or laptop?
How old?

 

[stroslose]

It's a desktop, and is about 9 months old. This started happening after the recent Microsoft update.

Both logs look just fine.
Is your computer loud all the time, or when you're doing something in particular?

I'd suggest, you get a can of compressed air, open the case and give it a good blow inside.

 

[stroslose]

Most of the time it is quite, and the noise does not seem to be linked to any activity. I will try opening up the case and cleaning it out.

Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it!!

 

[Broni]

You're very welcome
Let me know, how the cleaning went...

 

[stroslose]

Cleaning went well, quiet as a mouse now. Again Thank you very much for your help!

Great!
You should do it twice a year.
If there is a carpet in your room, even more often.
