Windows 10: How to log real-time processes, to find out what's slowing down an App

THE PROBLEM: Recent Windows 10 Updates have impacted the performance of 3rd Party Ham Radio Applications.


Been running the www.dxlabsuite.com software for many years, without problems. Thousands of other “hams” use the same software.


THE IMPACT: When I try to do a simple LOOKUP or a CLEAR, to find ham radio operator info, location, etc.…Execution took only 1-3 seconds. Now it takes 8-15 seconds….and makes the software useless in contests and other quick radio activities.


DONE SO FAR: Using Re-Boot with Safe Networking, we have ruled out any impact from software at Start-up.


And with extraordinary support from Malwarebytes (MB), we have ruled out any malware in the PC, and also ruled out any “rogue software” in the MB application. Numerous custom logs were created for the MB QC and development team, and they found no cause coming from their product.



NEXT STEPS: Using MSCONFIG’s Performance Monitor & Resource Monitor, I will try to set up some logging, so I can try to capture and understand what’s happening immediately after I click-on LOOKUP. And maybe identify the culprit. Whenever the delay happens for a LOOKUP, Task Manager shows the message: “DXkeeper not responding”. Is this a clue or useless info?



PLEASE CAN YOU HELP? Is the approach above, the best way to solve this ? What do YOU recommend on how to proceed?



Warm regards,

Gary

Only windows processes/software/applications are slow

Hi,

As per the above info, I suggest that you Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running
at the same time.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Press Windows + X on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
