Windows 10: Slow operation after update 8/15/2024

Slow laptop after update 8/15/2024. On 8/15 I was working on laptop shopping for cruises cruises late pm. When done, laptop required a Microsoft “update and shoutdown”, which i did. Ever since it has had problems. That night I turned it back on and it was extremely slow to do anything. Long delays between click and anything happening start menu wouldn’t pop up, browser wouldn’t open, etc.. Webroot scan showed no threats. Turned it off overnight. Next morning turned it on and the it is extremely slow to start up, took forever for task bar to open. S

Hi Pratyush,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I would suggest you to download the latest graphics card drivers from the manufacturer website. You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• • • • 
        Right-click on the game setup file and click on
        ‘properties’.
        
      • 
        Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
        ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
        

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if its specific to that particular game.

11/15/15 Windows 10 update KB890830 stuck at 5%

Hello Linda,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that Windows is unable to download the updates for KB890830.

Follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1

Place the computer in a Clean Boot state and check if there are any third party applications to be causing the slow down.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

Disclaimer: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.

Additionally, temporarily disable the Norton antivirus to see if it is affecting the download and install of Windows update.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily
disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2

• Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
