When my computer shuts down unexpectedly (due to power issues etc.), after power on the computer again it takes too long to search for a website (Not restoring previous session but actually searching for anything else)

Note: Sudden power loss can damage or destroy a hard drive's data.

Go to your local department/electronics store and look around for a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that is useful for you. The lowest price is $50 +. There are also units on the market that plug into the computer. So, if the battery gets low, it will shut down the computer to protect it.


Perform a System File Check to fix corrupted system files

What kind of searches do you mean ? Is that about searching via websites (Google) on internet or about searching for things like history and bookmarks (i.e. locally stored data) in Firefox?

Thanks for the reply. It is about general searching via websites, local things work without problem.

During sudden power loss any saves/searches/history/session will be lost. There not much to do about this beyond having a Backup PS that gives you enough time to stop and save and power off to save your recent sessions so you can restore them after power returns. During those power loss the Browser can be corrupted and can result in system files damaged and not able to do what it was written to do and at that point one must do drastic measure and Uninstall and delete software causing the issue and reinstall and in hopes it will fix the issue. This is the last resort to do when all other fixes fail.

Thanks for the information, but all I do is trying simple search over web, not recovering previous session or something else.
