Windows 10: Microsoft To-Do hits maximum disk io

Hey,


I have two Windows 10 machines, a laptop and a desktop.

I'd like to use the Microsoft To-Do app across these two machines.

The contents of the two apps are synced because they use a single account.


On the laptop the disk IO goes to 100% when I open the program. See below.

When the program is minimized it goes back to zero.

On the desktop the app is fine and hardly uses system resources.

Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
Step 1:
Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

• Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
• Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
• Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
• Select add someone else on this PC.
• Enter a user name and hit next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

 

Windows 10 Disk IO 100%

Disk IO stays close to 100% - Windows slow disk IO / bottlenecking performance on disk IO behavior really has to be addressed.

I believe this problem is stemming Microsoft's antimalware approach, while it's needed, is far too clumsy and heavy handed - IOW fix the antimalware disk IO bottleneck , possibly this way :

-- quick checksums for KNOWN good signed apps , like Google Chrome - STOP fighting not built here mentality and provide free certification to alternate vendors you know make quality software..

-- Is cooperative multi-tasking in the OS finally dead ? IOW are vendors like Google Chrome actually disk IO hogs ? If so then push back on them.

-- Excuses do NOT feed the bulldog - OWN this problem Microsoft !



I repeat the more than 1 year old issue above :

"

As it stands, the Windows 10 file system just isn't fast enough to be used in any sort of production environment (my environment is software development).
