    Initial slowness


    After startup, my Win10 laptop goes through a period of very slow response lasting 3-10 min. It's been like this for a few months. It's bad enough that I can't do hardly anything. Windows appears to be fully loaded, with the desktop icons in place and everything looking normal. In task manager, disk traffic is at 100%. In the list of services using disk resources, service host is often at the top, but there are others incl Eset, firefox, Edge, system, HP smart etc. Laptop has i5 2-core chipset @2.6 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Up to date. Any ideas?ofe

    :)

  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.
