I've followed all of the suggestions offered and recently did a refresh. Help! It's like dial-up speed and I have even installed a new modem/router. My Chrome runs fairly well though.

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 24.0.0.194
