OK, so your computer has finally become so frustrating because of a number of minor issues:
It might seem to be running slowly.
It might not start up as quickly as it used to.
The Internet might not be a slick as it used to be.
The time has come for you to do something about it – to preserve your sanity.
Setting about identifying the cause of the problems you are experiencing and putting them right can be a time consuming task and require a lot of research on the Internet.
A “guaranteed” alternative is performing a full reinstall – effectively return the computer to the same condition as it was when you first bought it.
In essence, all you have to do is back up all your data, reinstall your operating system, install any devices – printer, scanner etc. – reinstall any programs that you use and then restore your data.
This will remove any “gremlins” you may have picked up and restore all “factory settings”.
A full reinstall, including applying Windows updates, may take around 3 hours, but it does guarantee all software related issues are resolved.
