Take one or two web links on the desktop, delete them and remake them. Restart. Any difference in speed?<br />
<br />
New computer? &nbsp;or upgrade from Windows 7?<br />
<br />
If the latter, try doing an in-place Windows 10 Repair Install and Keep Everything so nothing is lost. <br />
<br />
Go to the Media Creation Link<br />

Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button, select Open (Run) but NOT Save. Allow the program to run. Allow drivers to update. Then select Keep Everything<br />

I do not have any issue with web links (although I use Favourites and not Desktop Links).

Microsoft Edge is garbage. I had an issue this morning where a PDF would not display in it and you know what Microsoft's response was? <b>Use IE.</b><br />
<br />
Just set the default browser to IE, hide the icon for Edge, and you'll be fine.
</div>


<div>
Microsoft Edge and PDF's (in Edge or in Acrobat) works fine for me. No issues.
</div>


<div>
The browser does not matter. I'm the link opens IE, the page is blank. 20-30 seconds later, page loads. If I open ie then the page it opens quick.
</div>


<div>
Right click the shortcuts and look at the properties to make sure no tags have been added that could cause the browser to load differently. If they open in IE no matter what, they may be hard coded to link to the IE executable first, then go to the link instead of just directly to the link.<br />
<br />
Also check the Proxy settings to make sure it's not trying to do some kind of detection every time you open the browser.

<div>
I'll check those when I can get back at his computer. Thanks

You must have some app or file that Windows Security does not like.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I upgraded my manager's computer to Windows 10. The manager has at least 50-60 desktop web links. Now in windows 10, each web link take 20 - 30 seconds t load the page. I have reset IE to defaults, changed the default browser to edge (the links still open in IE). uninstalled / reinstalled .net4. Set the file explorer to defaults. no add-ins. Can't figure out the issue.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Internet Explorer is a series of graphical web browsers first developed by Microsoft Corporation in 1995. It is included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95.

Internet Explorer (IE)

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
