Windows 10: new laptop windows 10 getting hung , high resource utilisation

Hi ,

I recently bought my laptop just 2 days back. I have hardly installed any new softwares.

My system gets stuck and I have to hard restart it. I can see my ram usage shows more than 60% at all times. and if I try to use google chrome and open a few tabs . my system hangs

:)

 

High disk and CPU utilisation post Windows 10 upgrade.

Since I upgraded from Windows 8.1-64bit to 10-64bit, I get the following two issues:

1. Microsoft .NET Framework - Font "HP Simplified" cannot be found - Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click "Continue", the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click
"Quit", the application will close immediately... See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

2. I have had High Disk utilisation at 100% and high CPU utilisation in the 80% range with no large processes running

Since January 31, 2018 update —KB4058258 (OS Build 16299.214) this issue is now only present in the first 3-4 mins of booting up my laptop however there is still considerable pain felt by the poor performance of an 8 month old laptop.

Before the latest update I had tried the following in order:

• Fix 1. Checked Energy Options for High Performance.
• Fix 2. Performed a Disk Check
• Fix 3. Change Settings in Google Chrome and Skype. - (then removed both programs)
• Fix 4: Disabled Windows Search.
• Fix 5: Disabled SuperFetch Service.
• Fix 6. Disabled Antivirus Software.
• Fix 8. Increased Virtual Memory
• Fix 9. MSI mode disabled For StorAHCI.sys Driver.
• Fix10. Windows recovery - reset

I had a driver update that failed: 0x800705b4 on 14.01.18

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

background (wallpaper) seems to be hung


I see on my background a picture from a series of pictures I wanted for a slide show. Went to Settings/Personalization/Backgrond and followed the steps once upon a time and I think it worked? Anyway, now the app appears to be hung and I don't know how to get it working. I've tried going through the settings and can change the background (behind the slideshow) color but nothing else. I found your forum and tried many of the ideas suggested to no avail. Can someone suggest how to get it working again?
