- Windows incredibly slow to boot. The process gets as far as a blue screen (BootCamp?) with three icons bottom right, which then changes to a screen featuring green butterflies. No idea what that's about. Those butterflies stay there for up to 10-15 minutes; every now and then the screen has a blip. Then Windows randomly boots as it should.
- Windows is no longer updating automatically. I have to initiate the process manually.
- Windows is no longer checking for viruses - I'm no longer getting messages in the Action Centre pane.
- Windows is no longer making any of its sounds, apart from the boot sound. I've even lost my MS Word sounds.
- I'm unable to type in the Windows search field bottom left.
