    For the last few days when i switch on the pc it seems to be sluggish for say 10 minutes.
    Normally its fine but i have noticed a difference.
    I have run the following but all seems ok.
    Spyware blaster.
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware.
    Disk defragmenter.
    Avg.

    The light on the front of the pc is flashing away like mad.
    Is there something i can try to see what is running at startup that might be the issue.

    Thanks.

    You can run CCleaner and see what is happening with start up apps.

    What version of Windows are you running?

    If you are running OneDrive in Win 7 or later it will sync your files at startup and, depending on the volume of new or amended files to be uploaded, this can cause a burst of disk activity. Does that ring any bells?
