Windows 10: Frequent hanging in Windows 10 OS build 19041.508 and issues while playing games

Ever since I updated my computer to the OS build 19041.508 I have been experiencing weird performance issues both in video games and while doing anything else.


Here is what I have noticed:

1 Severe FPS drops in games that normally ran butter smooth before the update.

2 When typing text the text and text cursor frequently freezes in place for a split second.

3 When moving the pointer around the screen it freezes in place for a split second.

4 When scrolling webpages they freeze for a split second.

5 When scrolling in the file explorer it freezes for a split second. It either resumes scrolling or sets the page back to the top for some reason.


That was pretty much all the problems that I can recollect. I thought that it might of had something to do with my OS drive 120GB SSD, which was almost full at the time with 10GBs of space left. Ihaven't reformatted/reinstalled Windows 10 on this SSD forabout 2 years now without having any problems performance wise.


I ran: chkdsk, sfc /scannow and used CrystalDiskMark to see if my SSD was dying It is currently 96% Healthy. I decided to wipe the drive, reformat it and reinstall Windows 10 OS build 19041.508 on it to see if it would help. Much to my surprise nothing really changed performance wise. At least now I have about 55GBs worth of head room on the drive.


I feel like rolling back to an earlier OS build is probably my best bet, but I would welcome any help would before I put myself through all of that.

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
