    Hi,

    It's been a while since you guys have helped me out, but you did fantastic work in the past. I don't know if I actually have a problem, but solution has been to open task manager and force close search and my delays magically vanish. Am I infected?

    Thanks!

    Windows Defender is not happy with a cached file related to Outlook. I don't see anything else of concern.

    Let's start by attempting to remove the cached entry, clean up some orphaned entries, and check the health of the operating system.

    Please do this.

    Thank you for the report.

    We successfully cleared the Outlook cache.

    We repaired some system files that were corrupt. In addition, we now need to repair the Windows Operating System.

    Please do this.

    ===================================================

    DISM RestoreHealth from Administrator Command Prompt

    --------------------
    • Press the Windows Key, type cmd, then select Run as administrator
    • Copy and paste DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth after the command prompt then hit Enter
    • Patiently wait as the process may take a long time to complete
    • When completed report whether the process was successful or an error occurred
    ===================================================

    Things I would like to see in your next reply.
    • Results?

    Haven't noticed any significant delays since the RestoreHealth was done, i had to use it during RestoreHealth and I had to be very patient waiting for something to print, but since then, smooth as silk. Thankyou for your help.

    It has been my pleasure.

    I think we are all set. Are there any remaining questions or concerns you might have before I post some tool/log clean up instructions and other information for you to consider going forward?
