    New desktop build has poor performance. What should I research?


    I just finished building a new desktop: New Gigabyte B550 board New Ryzen 5 5600 CPU New mouse and keyboard Used 8GB Kingston Ram Memory DDR4 Used M.2 NVMe 500GB stick New install of Windows 10 HomeAfter a fresh build and install, I expected normal Windows 10 tasks to run fast, but they are all slow.From clicking the Start button to right-clicking for dropdown choices, all these basic commands take 5 to 10 seconds to respond.I'm flummoxed!I've got choices: 1. Increase Ram memory and/or replace 2. Get a faster M.2 stick 3. Learn how to optimize Windows 10 settings 4. Take it

    Poor Performance

    It's very hard to make a suggestion with so little information. Please answer all the following questions:

    1. What does "Poor Performance" mean? Please put numbers on how long it takes to do things, even if the numbers are approximate.

    2. What programs do you run? 4GB of is OK for some programs, but way too little for others.

    3. What security software do you run? Is it kept up date?

    4. What programs do you have starting automatically?

    5. Is performance poor with all programs or just some?

    6. If just some, which programs are they?

    7. Is this a new problem or have you always had it. If it's new, when did it start and what changes in hardware or software did you make then?

    Upgraded Win7 to Win10 - now very slow boot-up and poor performance

    Hello @dalchina - thanks for those suggestions. Here's a response on the latter set of points.

    Task Manager screenshot is this... (just the top part of a long list, ranked high-low by memory-usage column).

    My HDD has several partitions (as it's dual booted with Linux). The C: drive on which Win10 is installed is 201GB, and there's 32.6 GB free.... which seems to me quite full. But I wonder - is that because the "old" Windows files from the upgrade I did yesterday are still being saved and stored?

    Meanwhile I will research the Windows Performance Analyser and Recorder, with which I'm not familiar.
