Windows 10: Performance...

Good day...


My system is becoming rather unstable again after a period of relative stability.


I have a decent enough PC (not state of the art) and running W10. I use fast boot, have 4GB RAM, and use readyboost.

I also use Norton Security as my AV...


The MS processes that seem to clobber me (CPU & disk i/o) are:


1. CompatelRunner

2. SedLauncher

3. SearchUI


I have opted out of everything, I rarely use Cortana, and my feedback is set to basic (i'd like a "None" option). I have tried to stop related

services, disable tasks etc but to no avail. Some boots are fine, and the system quiescent after a matter of seconds, but usually my

system is being made to work very hard (sometimes > 15-20 minutes) before it becomes usable.


I have accepted that Updates are not easily controllable in W10, so just allow that monthly pain and the requisite Restart.


Any tips, preferably ones that will be persistent beyond the next set of updates...


Thanks++

Sal
