So, ive been encountering issues with this Win 7 laptop. Fresh install, behind like six updates, (i tend to procrastinate on that, one reason i stuck with XP until the laptop broke). Anyway, settings up my games and stuff like that.
Recently its been acting weird. So, ill have RANDOM bandwidth cutouts where i have to reconnect to the wifi. A few times ill be at the kitchen and when i get back to my laptop theres another program open which I DID NOT OPEN. The Virus total site likes to glitch with font/didnt work on me at all just now, avast isnt detecting anything, neither did Malwarebytes trial right before I switched to avast for the real-time protection. Security Check is stuck on the "Checking System Health" point, and my pc was "arguing" with me to download Adwcleaner, and the MBAM scanner, took two or three times each.
And sometimes watching Youtube, sometimes after a bandwidth cutout or not even that, ill pause it and it refuses to resume the video, just still says its paused, ill have to make a whole new tab and reload it to go back to where i was in the video. No matter which browser.
And Minecraft has been giving me issues with 1.12.2 (though i think thats unrelated I thought i should post it anyway even though it can be a bug most likely.) And Yandere Simulator claimed a firewall was blocking it from downloading its data, despite the fact it would have been mid-download, six to seven times when Windows Firewall was not. Nor an antivirus.
Kinda baffled at this point and this is starting to get on my nerves, any help appreciated in advance.
Edit: Minecraft is also crashing abnormally with something like "whilst updating screen" each time, when i try to use a client it crashes after about 20 mins each time also. And all my program downlaods had their setup files scanned with the VirusTotal site, and i get dissconnected from minecraft servers randomly at times. Again, could be a bug, just thought i would add that in due to the nature of this thread. And, upon startup it takes a bit too long, like a minute or so, for desktop shortcuts to show properly, 5400 RPM should still be fast enough to show them almost straight-off the bat, as it showed them almost instantly on my old laptop with that same HDD speed. Minecraft also only has issues with the dissconnectiog on specific servers and versions, ableit 1.8.0 and 1.12.2, another thing i thought i should add, and ive tried 1.9 and 1.10 and they do not have these issues.
Funny thing is, my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Virtualbox VM's guest additions do not want to seem to work all that well. Otherwise, the VM
istelf isnt affected. And its slow on shut-down, and does the "Welcome" stage on startup a bit slower than usual.
May seem a bit petty issues, but its happening more consistenely now and its getting kinda annoying and on my nerves, and it could also be signs of an infection.
