Browser is taking a long time to open and show the very first website.
Hi there, I'm having an issue with my desktop pc lately, it takes 10-20sec to open the first page in any Internet browser- every new page/tab takes this time to load, same for search- type in and then it takes that long to start doing something. I've also noticed that when opening Spotify from closed, it also takes 10-20 sec to load playlists etc, once loaded- it's snappy. I've tried to search and most topics suggest there's something with one or another browser, or malware, but I've cleared browsers, scanned Windows with several antivirus software and found nothing. What I've done so far: Cleared browsing data and ran optimisation on some browsers, didn't help. Ran a few antivirus and malware software- nothing has been detected. Updated wifi drivers, installed the latest Win updates. WiFi connection is fine, I have another computer next to and it's working fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try restarting your computer in safe mode to see if that helps. Make sure you read the steps carefully and don't turn off any Microsoft services or Windows might not start at all - check out this link for help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help...in-windows If a clean boot solves the problem, it probably means some program is starting up too late. You should restart those programs over and over again to find exactly which one is causing trouble.
Try turning off your computer completely and starting it up again - but be careful not to turn off any Windows or Microsoft settings because the system won't start at all if you do that. Follow these steps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help...in-windows If this clean boot fixes the problem, then it's probably a program that starts up too early and needs to stay running in the background. You should restart those programs many times one after another until you find the specific one that was causing all the issues.
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information. After the next boot do not immediately open any other apps or browsers. Just let the desktop pc sit. Then open either Task Manager or Resource Monitor. Use both tools but only one at a time. Observe what the system is doing: what resources are being used, to what extent (%), and what is using any given resource. Slide the observation window to one side and then open the brower or app in question. Again, just one. Look in the observation window to see what changes when the loading is slow. It may take a few tries to identify the culprit but there is a good chance that some issue will stand out.
Thank you for your suggestion, but no, it still isn't working to fix that issue, so what other thoughts can we have?
I tried that same thing too, but nothing special happens here either. I looked at both my desktop computer and my laptop side by side, and they act alike whenever you start up a fresh tab in your favorite web browser.
Here is the update: I plugged the computer into the router and it works fine normally. Why does it take 10 to 20 seconds longer just to show the first page when connected to Wi-Fi? It's only on my desktop, and this happened recently. I haven't changed any settings at all.
Wifi is usually slower than having a wired connection. Sometimes, interference or other problems could be making this happen. Make sure only one network card is turned on for your desktop, like either wired or wireless but not both at once. Which wireless adapter do you have? Run the command "ipconfig /all" using Command Prompt and share the results with me.
