  1. PC is much slower when unplugged


    When I have my PC plugged in, it's running great (I checked in task manager, the clock speed hovers around the high end of 3.xx GHz). However, as soon as I unplug it, performance drops (the CPU speed visibly, immediately drops to around 1 GHz). The PC is still usable when unplugged but their is a noticeable difference in things like opening minimised apps, scrolling, clicking etc.

    Specs:

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-8950HK with 16GB of RAMm running WIndows 10 2004

    One device much slower than others on home wifi - why?

    I spoke with the shop once I could be in front of the computer. Yes. They too were puzzled.

    What they think is that:
    1. They must have goofed up the parts list for it
    2. So the Dell 1397 is the adapter I have
    3. And the "radio" must be getting weak or intermittent

    Even though I have no Intel 7260 showing in Device Manager:

    I went to the Intel site and downloaded the drivers for the 7260. Ran the exe, it ran fine, no errors, told me to restart so changes would take hold - but when I got back, there still wasn't a 7260 listed.

    At that point I called the shop again and they said that it's "not uncommon" for an Intel driver install exe to just run, even if its target hardware isn't present. Sounds goofy to me, but okay.

    I don't know how useful this is, but here's the ipconfig /all listing, for the wireless on my computer:

    I read the guy at the shop the list of network adapters in device manager, and he agreed that none other than the 1397 were wireless adapters.

    So - unless a miracle can happen and someone can show me where this alleged 7260 is - I'm going to wait for the shop to help me, or, maybe, if it's not too hard - this is an all-in-one PC and opening up even a big box scares me - put a new card in myself.

  4. PC is much slower when unplugged

    Disable beep sound when plugging/unplugging laptop charger

    I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Disable the PC Speakers and check if it helps.

    • Right click on Sound Icon in the task bar and go to Playback devices.
    • Select Speaker and click on properties.
    • Go to Levels tab, and mute (or you can reduce it) PC Speaker and check if it helps.
