Visual studios is running way to slow, taking up to 20 seconds to start a program in the debugger, and another 10-15 seconds after stopping the program before the mouse will start working again. I turned off the real-time protection and bam! Everything is back to normal. I turned real-time back on and Bam! Problems again. I rinsed and repeated this again with the same results.

Dont' aske me what I selected the product that I did but as I had NO REAL choice that matches the problem of Windows Essentials. :( And no, it is not my machine. I have 8GB of memory and plenty of disk space, I defragged trying to fix this, and this is definitely a problem with Essentials.
