Opening program has slowed down dramatically


Recommended Posts

I am running Windows 10 Home, version 1909, patched up to date (OS build 18363.1139). Over the last couple of days, the open times for both Photo and Publisher have slowed to a crawl. Other programs are opening at their normal speed. I have run the fixing option from the instal exe file but this has made no difference.

I have 16 GB RAM and an 8-core AMD Ryzen cpu + a rather mediocre AMD graphics card - but this combination has run both Photo and Publisher well until very recently. For reasons that escape me, Windows has recently stabilised my graphics card by loading a Radeon RX480 driver even though I have a Radeon RX580 graphics card - any attempt to load AMD's own signed driver is doomed to disaster since, inter alia, it messes up the mouse - I have to stick with whatever Microsoft decides is right for my system.

I don't know if Photo and Publisher have a problem but I thought that I should report the issue. Any thoughts received gratefully.
