Windows 10: My laptop was just updated this hour. It is now five times slower than it was before the...

Dear Microsoft,


It is with my utmost resent with which I post this today. Why, oh why, would you ever make a system so slow, it is slower than a sloth in a molasses pit in winter, and gets slower with each update? I am barely able to run my high end games on my machine. Now, I can't. I mean, even system tools aren't responding within the expected half second! It is taking more than five! I have run all the defragging, optimizing, and repairing I possibly can, to absolutely no avail How do you explain this away, eh? By saying it's my machine? I assure you, it is not. Here's my system info:

My machine could not possibly be the issue here. I am malware free, as checked by Malwarebytes, I have very few programs running, and those that are, are idle, and this system is STILL using 40% of my RAM! This is consistent no MATTER what I do. This is causing me a lot of strife Microsoft, and I don't want to have to drop you because you can't put out a fast and stable system! I grew up with you, for cryin out loud! I have family ties to a product tester in this company, and throughout my life, I've seen some cool things comin out of you, like windows 8.1 (blazing fast, super stable, never crashed or froze, and never once stuttered in frame rates), and some downright embarrassing things, windows 10 included. I WISH I could switch to windows 8.1, but because you people can't allow new drivers to be made for it, I can't put it on my laptop because the processor and network drivers are incompatible with the system! Trust me, the ONLY way you will ever make any more money out of windows 10 is by making it the only option (oh wait, you already have) OR making windows 10 more like windows 8.1! Don't even try to help me with this issue, I've tried everything your "techs" have suggested. I've tried almost everything the forums suggest! I even TRIED switching back to windows 8.1, but evidently, I need a four year old machine to do it!


You need to pick up the ball people, cause you dropped it bad with this one. If it is at all possible, I think windows 10 is windows 2000's evil futuristic twin.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$

EDIT: to facilitate your search...

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
