Windows 10: Laptop pauses every one second

Just finished instal on 2nd laptop yesterday. There is a pause every second that is shown by the mouse pointer displaying the revolving circle. Everything appears to be working although task manager is jerky.

any ideas on this pls...

:)

 

Typing & Selections keep jumping/cutting out!

Since I installed the new windows version, it keeps pausing when I am in the middle of something. e.g. while typing, every couple of seconds my laptop seems to stop responding and missing some of the letters.

If I am looking at a selection menu, it closes every few seconds too and it also stops me scrolling.

It has been frustrating trying to write this post! It seems like the screen is refreshing every couple of seconds or something and when it does there is a pause in whatever I am doing where my laptop stops responding.

 

Music pausing randomly on 820?

"but now the songs have an extremely random aggrevating pause in the songs."



I'd be interested to hear if that's the same problem I found with my 520, where it kept putting little pauses into the music about once per minute. In fact when I checked it was
exactly every 66 seconds with one SD card and every 64 seconds with another card.





That problem stopped after I switched from using AAC files to MP3s.

 

Maybe the system is downloading updates? I have seen this on two systems that I installed Win 10 on. Both stopped this activity after Win 10 updated and asked for a reboot.

 

Thanks all,
turned out to be HP fingerprint software...

 

What was the problem with the fingerprint software and how did you solve the issue please. (To help others with the same problem in the future) *Smile

 

The HP Simplepass.exe was continually creating new threads then deleting them but for about 6.
disabling and stopping had no effect.
As i don't use the fingerprint option, i uninstalled Simplepass and all stable....

 

There are LOTS of posts on the HP Support forum about Simplepass NOT working with Win10. Don't know if HP is working on an update for Win10 or not. There were similar complaints about HP Support Assistant NOT working with Win10, but HP's put out an upgraded version that now does.
