Windows 10: Anniversary Update - some actions slower but some faster

I was having issues in mid July around the last update on the original Win 10 build. July 12th updates to be specific. Around that time I had some issues that could have been all kinds of possibilities (malware or hardware or just bad files) I went for a full clean install from a bootable usb that deleted partitions and created new ones. Everything was great and a few days later which was 2 days ago I decided to download the 14393 pre_release build that went to manufacturers. All is well no issues.

PC runs great. I can tell that RAM is managed much better on this version (1607) than the last Win 10. Restart and Boot are amazingly fast which was a lot of my problems pre 1607 Windows 10. When my issues were going on around mid July. Those 2 weeks I ran every test I could. I ran diagnostics, disk checks, etc etc to make sure my laptop was 100% on everyway. I'm not a expert but I would say I'm a intermediate to advanced user as I will never have to take a PC into the repair shop.

Now onto my questions. Prior to the anniversary update I tweaked every little thing I could to make my 3 year old Dell run amazing. So many tweaks I can't remember but not in a bone headed way. One adjustment I might have made last August and the next a week later. So a year later I have no idea what these were aside from the Beginner tweaks like startup programs, battery and performance settings. All the beginner noob basics I know.

It just seems like certain parts of the system just aren't snappy as I had them before. I don't know if its animations which I have that on performance or if its app loading. I know a good amount of stuff from Windows 8 transferred over and I made a good amount of registry adjustments to values. Seemed like I had a list of like 20 tips and most were just those simple adjustments but again this has been 1-2 years since doing/reading this stuff. startmenudelay or app loading times, times to close apps, the ones that made each thing windows does a little bit faster. It wasn't 1 adjustment or setting to change it all. But after a few weeks on the original Win 10 back a year ago I increased performance a good amount.

So if you guys have some guides, write-ups, tutorials, etc throw them my way. Please don't say turn off background apps or adjust startup programs, etc because I'm way past that point. That's something I take a look at all the time. The stuff I'm asking about is the set once and leave alone til the next clean install/new version.

Thanks in advance

Win 10 Anniversary Update battery drain

I turned off Fast Startup in the Power options for the Win 10 Anniversary Update and also updated the Intel Management Engine for Win 10 64-bit from

here.

Disabling Fast Startup makes it boot slower, but seems to help some with the battery drain. Updating ME also helps. But even with both those changes, the battery still drains faster than it did before updating to the latest version of Win 10.
