  1. Windows 10 Slows down gradually


    I have an annoying problem that seems to have developed since I updated to the 2004 Feature Update.

    With a fresh reboot, the system is really fast AMD 2700X, 16 GB RAM 3200, NVMe 1TB M.2, X570 MB.

    Over the next few days it will slow gradually but very perceptively.

    I have not installed any new software since August and I have done multiple AV scans with a clean result (BitDefender paid).

    Any idea what might be causing this and what I could check?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
