If you are getting a drive error in windows, im inclined to agree with gbhall and cliffordcooley because it sounds like your drive maybe going bad. I do not know what to do to make my computer run faster, or return to its old state, and I hope someone here does. I am asking for assistance because I feel helpless. So here I am, stuck with a slower computer, wishing I never updated to 8.1. I restarted again and now apps are actually launching and things seem to be working a little better, but the computer is still slow. My Google Drive folder is also inaccessible and I can't seem to install another copy/instance of GDrive. Then I tried to use System Restore and realized I couldn't because my old profile was deleted. I restarted my computer and went into the new profile and deleted the old profile.Īt first, none of the apps would even launch. I moved what I can, and noticed that Windows was giving me a 'drive error' notification. While I was trying to move all my files, a lot of them wouldn't move, or they needed to be moved in smaller batches. Turns out that wasn't such a great idea either. So I tried to do what they told me to: move all the files in one User folder to another and remove the old profile. And indeed, I checked another user profile on my machine and it seemed to be working better, and the Windows 8 apps actually ran. I stumbled upon an online source which said that it could be a corrupt profile issue. I tried a virus check, disc cleanup, defragmentation and care with iObit's advanced systemcare, but none of them seemed to work. Once the upgrade finished, I scrambled to try to figure out what could cause it to be so slow. I went through the upgrade process, but when it finished I noticed something strange. It actually managed to download the whole thing, so I was excited to upgrade my computer. Yesterday, I finally had time to try to upgrade my computer again, so I decided to do so. The computer worked fine in Desktop mode however, so I decided to go on with my life. They would start up, load for a few seconds, and then crash without even displaying.
I really wanted to upgrade as I was having some sort of issue with my Apps. It wouldn't let me, as I would get an error. Windows 8.1 then came out, and I tried to update. This, coupled with a RAM and an HDD upgrade, made my 5 year old computer run the best that it has in a long time, and I was happy. About a year ago I upgraded my computer to Windows 8.
