    Computer runs very slow until I install daily security update


    Hello all,


    I have been having issues with my Surface Book 2 since purchase, I have troubleshooted it with their service department and got it working fine continuously for about a month. However I am back at the point where the whole system lags however I have finally figured out at least what I think is causing the problem. It seems that everyday when I first boot up my computer, it runs slow until I install the newest version of the Windows Security update...and then later on the in the day (although this happens less often) I have to install some .Net Framework update. Can anyone explain why there are so many updates? I am fine installing them and am at least happy that I know what is triggering the lag but is frustrating when I have to go through this process so often.


    TIA.

    :)

  3. slowness in computer usage.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    • What makes you think that system is running slow? Is it when you are trying to run application?

    • Did you install any third party security application?
    From the screenshot that you have provided, I understood that it’s not the issue with the disk usage. The slowness might be due to the memory usage.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run maintenance task and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows key + X from the desktop.

    • Select Control panel and Select System and Security.

    • Click on Troubleshoot common computer problems under System and maintenance.

    • Now Run maintenance task under
      System and security
      .
    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
