Windows 10: Performance concern

Hi,

My desktop basic configuration is ...

• Processor: AMD FX-8320,
• RAM: DDR3 16GB (HX318C10F/8 x 2),
• HD: WD Black 1TB,
• Motherboard: Asus M5A97,
• Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5450 &
• SMPS: Cooler Master GX 650W

In stead of good configuration, most of time I don't feel better performance. I don't play any game. I do just common work and run virtualization (VMware Workstation 12 Pro).

What applications, I should use for checking benchmark performance?
Please suggest me some tips & tricks for enhanced performance.

Regards
Sanjay

:)

Before carrying out this procedure, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don't, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive.
Also, you should restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet. The easiest way to do it is to enable Airplane mode from the Action Center - Windows key + A.

Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type each of the following then hit Enter

taskkill /f /fi "SERVICES eq wuauserv" (Do this multiple times)

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

rmdir C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

rmdir C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

When complete, hit Enter, then restart, then try updating again.

If that does not work..

1. Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type each of the following then hit Enter

Run these codes:

Net Stop bits

Net Stop wuauserv

Net Stop appidsvc

Net Stop cryptsvc

Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak

Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak

Net Start bits

Net Start wuauserv

Net Start appidsvc

Net Start cryptsvc

After running these commands, check if your issue is fixed.

Hello,

Try resetting Windows updates using an automatic script. See:

http://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2015/12/windows...

Make sure you run the script as an administrator.

 

For the beginning, an SSD for OS and main programs would help a lot.
There's also option of overclocking.
VMs also work better when you give them more cores and memory. They also benefit from SSD.
Even without any games better GPU can help at graphic and multimedia tasks.
