NEW COMPUTER. WIN 11

Running a new Win 11 machine. Nothing fancy, a plain AMD Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (MSI) VIDEO.

Google Chrome Browser installed, all bookmarks moved over, all fully functional, except Facebook.

I can log in, but it runs very slow, or not at all. runs perfect on old machine.

I cannot understand how this can happen. All ideas will be very welcome.

You installed Google Chrome, it does do a lot in the background and even uninstalling Chrome leaves behind stuff. I’d leave Chrome to the Android devices.

Does the Task Manager show anything? Is CPU spiking or running flat downloading or installing updates?

Nothing showing on Task Manager, no peaks.

I have turned off Adblock Plus and other extensions, it is slightly better today.

So can you describe what “slow” actually feels like?

From clicking on the F.B. tab, >60 secs. before page loads fully.

What antivirus/malware solutions are running? Sounds similar to issues years ago where a bad or multiple AVs were taking ages to scan. A lot of new devices come with a "free" AV and it is usually horrible - prefer just to have Windows Defender these days.

Check to see if Gemini nano is installed.

Win 11 came with Norton 360... "FOR GAMERS"

This is now disabled, no difference.
