Hey guys,
My company has provided me a work laptop to use out in the field. It's an adequately supplied laptop that should be able to do backflips with the programs that I run on it. Unfortunately this is the result of an image that I believe my company pushes out to the laptops instead of doing them all manually (which makes sense).
One of the biggest pet peeves I have with this laptop is the insane amount of time that it takes to do simple processes. It can take upwards of 2 minutes (occasionally) to bring the run window up when I do start -> run. Some programs that are light take equally the same amount of time to open up. If I type my password wrong, I have to wait another 2 minutes just for it to tell me it failed for me to retype the password.
Is there anything that I can check, or repair, without having to send the laptop back to have them re-image it (with possibly the same bad image)?
Thanks!
