This transfer will be available within 5 minutes.

The "CPU" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems. Reducing the number of open applications may improve system performance. Check for unnecessary startup applications and disable those that are not required. If the problem continues the CPU may need to be upgraded.


The "Gaming graphics" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems in multimedia applications or games. Disabling Aero Glass may improve performance in multimedia applications or games. If the problem continues the display adapter may need an updated driver or may need to be upgraded.


The "Graphics" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems. Disabling Desktop Composition or reducing screen resolution may improve graphical performance. If the problem continues the display adapter may need an updated driver or may need to be upgraded.


The "Disk" rating for the system is poor and may be the cause of performance problems. Reducing the number of open applications may improve system performance. Ensure the disk has adequate free space and is defragmented. Check for unnecessary startup applications and disable those that are not required. If the problem continues the disk may need to be upgraded.


The "Memory" rating for the system is very poor and may be the cause for performance issues. Reducing the number of open applications may improve system performance. Check for unnecessary startup applications and disable those that are not required. If the problem continues the memory may need to be upgraded.

Please reset BIOS settings to its factory default settings also set the SATA type to AHCI.

If nothing works then upgrade the BIOS firmware to latest version.

Edit: Also uninstall Bitdefender to see issue resolves.

I guess I have a fairly good system that shouldn't see slowdowns. I have seen many systems with Pentium mobile chipsets, no dedicated graphics and low memory running on the latest update smoothly. I live in a hostel and many of my friends have such systems and they face no issues. My roommate has a Celeron system and I upgraded Windows 10 in his system from the same ISO and he faces no such issue. I guess it has got something to do with my laptop brand or some other issue. But my laptop wasn't slow when I got it. It got slow when after I installed the CU. I can't get any pre -CU ISO from trusted source to revert back.

The bios settings are limited by the OEM so I can't find any place to set SATA type to AHCI. There is no Advanced tab in BIOS.

 

What is strange is new computer come with DOS installed.

Only disable Superfetch if you have SDD drive, Superfetch is a service in Windows that's designed to speed up app launching by preloading certain apps based on your usage patterns.

When did you upgrade to FCU update i think with FCU you have 30 days to restore previous installation.

Have you upgrade the BIOS firmware?

Have you uninstall Bitdefender?

The problem is that I have scanned my system with many trusted softwares including Malwarebytes. Bitdefender was also installed for the same reason. I only prefer to use Windows Defender. No threats were found by any AV software I used. Also BIOS is upgraded to the latest, infact I updated it within the week I got my laptop.

 

If the laptop have a valid warranty send it back in because i think this is hardware issue.

 

I also think the same. Thanks for giving your time to help me out.

 

You are very welcome!

 

Before you send back your computer you can try this;

Here is my boot trace analysis;

1. The short version: boot delay caused by a high disk I/O du to Bitdefender and the prefetcher.

How to fix that:
- disable Bitdefender
- Repair the prefetch mechanism: run this command "xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot". Be patient this will reboot your system 6 times and can took a certain time. this is why you should disable the AV to not slow down the disk I/O.

After the end of this command your boot should be faster.

I'll post the long version later on.

 

Please run this version of the log collector and post a zip into this thread:
log collector v2-beta08.zip

 

Here is the log

I guess I'll just have to wait for my manufacturer to update the drivers on the product page. Only then I will get to know if it fixed the issue.

Thanks

Edit: I found a link from Microsoft related to the driver update. Hope it fixes everything. Here's the link for if anyone visits this thread for solution.
