I created a system restore point back in early Feb, when Bobbye helped me check-on a suspected 'false' trojan detected by Avira. I really didn't have more time to look into the slow start-up problem, and as mentioned before, once everything loaded-up, the PC ( & internet) was running fine - shut-down normal - no probs - no hanging. In Windows 7, use Windows settings found in the Screen Resolution to adjust the screen. I did virus & malware scans using Avira/Spybot/SuperAntiSpyWare/MBAM (all latest versions & updated) when it first started the slow start-ups - but no probs detected. It is not applicable to ATI/NVIDIA discrete graphics. If youre using a monitor that is taller than it is wide, then you need to rotate the screen, change its orientation from landscape to portrait. I don't think it's a virus/malware problem.įor the past couple of weeks my PC has been very very slow to start-up - say maybe takes 5-10mins, then after everything has loaded - seemed to be working fine. the mouse sort of went a bit funny (like it felt out of control), then before I knew it, the screen had changed from normal landscape mode to portrait mode. (the usual bottom of my screen is now running along the left-hand side of the monitor). So, for those who have a different take on the world and their monitors, Windows 10 has an option to rotate the screen to use the monitor in portrait mode. A couple of days ago my windows screen suddenly changed from normal (landscape mode) to 'Portrait' mode - meaning the usual top of my screen page is now running along the right hand side of my monitor - it's like it done a 90% right-hand turn.
