I finally got the nerve and moved to Windows 10 from Windows 7 back in January. The changeover with more smoothly than I expected,
but I had some issues, mostly between the ears, concerning how Windows 10 worked. It took a couple days but all is working. The
only thing that I am finding are the programs are taking a while to start, at least longer than with Windows 7. For example DXView
is taking 35 seconds and I don't think it took that long before. I know this has been discussed before and there is also probably
something in the DXLAb help file, but I am not getting any hits from my searches. I know this has something to do with the search
criteria that I am entering and discovered over the years that without proper terminology the search produces nothing. I have
already looked at the two articles that come up when I do a search for "Windows 10" and followed those directions right after the
install. Can anybody give me some clues how to do the search so that I can get on the right track?
+ I can remember no case of "slow application startup" over the past 19 years that wasn't the result of interference from another
application.
+ The culprit is almost always a misconfigured or incompetent anti-malware application.
+ A few other applications have been found to interfere; they are listed here:

+ Reminder: never delete an installed Windows application before first directing Windows to uninstall it. You can determine if an
application is installed by running the "Uninstall a program" applet accessible via the Windows Control Panel; this applet displays
a list of installed programs.
