    Program launch lag (FYI)


    There is a lag of approximately three seconds when launching programs via Windows 10 shortcut keys. This is a longstanding, oft-reported issue that is alleged by some forum participants to predate Windows 10. There is no lag if programs are launched via a mouse.

    The fault may also prevent some macros from completing, a serious detriment.

    It is not caused by viruses, malware or missing system files (SFC). Resetting Windows, increasing virtual memory or a clean boot are not relevant.

    The lag is related to suspended background processes - such as calculator - which are repeatedly initiated by the Superfetch service. Disabling it solves the problem in most cases, but that shouldn't be required.

    Program launch LAG

    . This is a longstanding, oft-reported issue that is alleged by some forum participants to have existed prior to Windows 10. There is no lag if programs are launched via a mouse.

    Please escalate this issue to developers/higher support levels. Perhaps one day they will take it seriously.

  3. BSOD video TDR failure (nvlddmkm.sys)

    fyi, the computer just died with the video TDR failure error again while it was doing nothing. Just sitting there, not on the internet, not running any programs, just looking at the desktop. Nothing was launched except Carbonite and McAfee were running.
