Windows 10: Slow Windows 10

When I click the Windows icon on the left buttom it takes some seconds to open and even the search bar where it says "I'm Cortana etc..." And when opening software too like for example Word 2016. Even when right clicking on desktop , it takes time to show the options. I see on youtube those programs and their windows 10 working very smoothly and fast. I am already on no animations and so on. Its an activated Windows 10 too. Look my specs. Thanks alot who tried to help me. cheers

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

 

Here is a tutorial you should have a good read of :
How to Optimize the Performance of Windows 10
Optimize Performance of Windows 10

I am not saying you have to do all that are on the list.
Pick ones that are most applicable.

 

4 gb ram is required for 64bit windows !! *Huh

 

Not necessary although 4 GB Ram for a 64-bit OS would be preferable.

Please read this Windows 10 Specifications
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/wind...specifications

excerpt :
System requirements

Processor : 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
RAM:
1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space:
16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card:
DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display:
800x600

 

What shall I do? What happens when I got 2GB RAM with 64bit?

 

Perhaps you have not read my reply, post #4 ?

Also read the most current info.........................
excerpt: Source
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR PC
Devices that run Windows 10 for desktop editions must meet the RAM requirements.

For both 32 bit and 62 bit OS architecture minimum Memoryshould be equal to or higher than 2GB.

For 32 bit architecture the minimum storage is 16GB and for 64 bit architecture minimum storage is 20GB.

 

Yes I read your post. I thought something was wrong for having a 64bit and 2gb ram.

Does a 32bit run smoother on the specs I got?

 

If you are thinking of switching from 64-bit to 32-bit, you will need to do a Clean Install.
Whether it would be smoother or not, I cannot comment as I do not have first hand experience on switch a 64-bit to 32-bit.
Is your computer running smoothly as of now ?

I have a 6+ years old Dell laptop with only 2 GB Ram, merely 100 GB hard disk, running a 32-bit Windows 10 Pro. No issues at all.

 

Thats old. And I have 650GB free. No issues you mean that when you press example on windows icon the menu comes up smooth and fast? and the right click on desktop menu opens fast? and when opening software like Word how fast is it? I might go to 32bit

 

FAST is relative.
To me, my menu/programs come up in good time. No undue delay.
Of course, I keep almost all personal files etc in an external hard drive to lighten the load of the internal hard drive. Bare minimum "startup list"......... the usual drill.

 

My startup list has only few programs that it says : Low effect on boot.
I think 32bit/x86 will work better on the specs I got on Windows 10
I got about 650GB free space. I dont think free space is the problem
How do I clean install for 32bit?
I had previously upgraded to windows 8.1 via a USB then I upgraded to Windows 10 from a USB too as when it got released we didnt get the free upgrade we have right now
To upgrade I had to manage the boot sequence so that the USB boots first instead of OS which was windows 8.1

 

You will need to download a fresh copy of Windows 10 iso file.
Use this Tech Bench link to download the ISO file
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/soft...load/techbench

Scroll down to Select Edition > click the pointer at the right and select Windows 10 ( first one on the list ) > click Confirm.
Click the pointer and select Language > make sure you pick the same language the computer is now running > click Confirm
Select 32-bit.
At the bottom, click the pointer next to Save > click Save As > navigate to a folder of your choice > click the chosen folder > click Save
The iso will start downloading to your chosen folder.

Go to the folder where the iso is saved at > right click at it > click Burn disk image. That will get you to burn the iso to a DVD.
Once you have the DVD created, you can then perform Clean Install.

Note : adding.................
Regarding burning iso file to a bootable media, I personally use Windows USB/DVD Download Tool for DVD and USB.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...-download-tool
While there are many other image burning programs available, I chose this one because of its simplicity and fool-proof. Anyone can use it.
I have been using it for over 2 years now.

 

Will it ask for me product key? Will it be activated windows?
