Explorer slow

I posted a question about this before and have since made a few things. First of all my new desktop is HP envy 700-216. It came with Windows 8.1. Right out of the box of Windows Explorer has been slow and sticky.  Computer being less than months I got to store and had them reset it back to factory settings, install malicious programs, and make updates. While there the Explorer has been pretty quick (tested on the FB site and a few others). They told me if it wasn't like that at home, this is probably my internet connection and I have since revived the old modem and replaced by new ones. No difference in the Solution Explorer.

When this all started I downloaded Firefox and which works very well. That's what we use.

My thoughts are if Windows Explorer is junk, then why have there? I think I paid for it and it should work out of the box. Given that many of us use this desktop computer I want each of us to use different browsers and helps with passwords etc. I should be able to get the Explorer to work. You do not?

I worked on this same problem!       I think that I thought about it!       Someone on the Microsoft forum site, here is the link: Kelly helped of course.   and it was not HP support.

See posting April 2, 8 and 10 of Kelly.      Great help for my brand new computer!

The problem is HP SimplePass, specifically, the OPBHOBrokerDsktop.exe and the HPSimplepassBHOBroker. Kill both of these processes has solved the problem. They run by default on the new machines.

I uninstalled HP SimplePass and all is good.

A search on the web of SimplePass Windows 8 revealed hundreds of opportunities where people have difficulties with it on Win8.1.  Is working or not, that's kill performance in a big way.

HP should be ashamed to ship new machines like that.
