Aspire E 15 (E5-575-5493 Acer Aspire E 15 laptop - At the end of my rope with this thing
Hello all,
First, I hope everyone is safe and well. Thank you for taking any time to read this.
Background: I purchased an Acer Aspire E 15 (E5-575-5493) near the end of 2016, and it has worked fine for the most part up until last week sometime. I've never been fully satisfied with the performance of this thing, but it has at least been usable and would perform fine once various processes would run.
Fast forward to last week, and the laptop has become unusable at this point. I can't even point to what event led to this, as it just happened so seemingly fast. When I start the laptop, it take anywhere from 20 - 30 minutes to even get to a point where I can move the mouse. Once I can do that, it takes 5 - 10 minutes for any mouse click or action to be recognized. I have tried various things to resolve this: *Going to recovery environment mode and performing a Reset on windows; *Trying various scans like sfc that end up just getting stuck; *Disabling a couple startup items that I saw in another forum thread.
I really have no clue on what to do next besides launching this thing straight out the window, as this may provide me with more joy at this point than continuing down this path. I'll hold off on doing that for now, in hopes that anyone out there has gone through something similar or has any thoughts on how to resolve. Thanks for anyone who takes time to read and respond to this.
Cheers!
