Windows 10: PC slow performance after Restoring from "System Image" backup..Help!!

Hello,

I recently restored from a earlier full system image backup and since then the pc is acting somewhat slowly,

• right click on a folder takes longer time
• right click on hard disk in "My computer" takes long time
• clicking on nvidia control panel takes very long time
• Opening a jpg file via photos app takes long time.

I tried reinstalling graphics driver via DDU, ran sfc /scannow, ran system maintenance troubleshooter and the issue persists...So far ive seen only these issues..

Can someone please help me how to fix this hiccup? I don't want to reinstall everything from scratch...

My windows version is 1909 (OS build 18363.418)

:)

Restore a System Image Backup

Hi Kirk,

One of the possible reasons why this issue occurs is when the System Image Backup that you'd like to restore is corrupted. We would like to know more about the issue so we can assist you better. Please answer the following questions:

• How did you create your system image backup?
• Can you provide us the screenshot of the exact error message?
• Is your USB device readable to other PCs?
• What are the contents of the USB device? Can you provide us the screenshot of it?

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Slow System Performance on Windows 10 PC

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that your PC is running slow. We appreciate your efforts in providing us the detailed information.

• Which updates were installed?
  

To check which updates were installed recently go to
Settings > Update & Security >
Windows update > View installed update history

Meanwhile, you may want to try the following troubleshooting steps mentioned below:

Method 1:


I suggest you run the Performance Tune Up Check and
check if it helps.

Method 2:

If the issue persist, I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions from the article on how to
Improve PC Performance.

Note:
Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS
settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

Note: Resetting the computer to factory setting will remove all hard drive data and reinstall the original operating system. I suggest you all you backup
important files and data before performing a factory reset.
