  1. Strange sluggish performance after update.


    After the last major Windows update, I've started to experience abrnomally slow response for several basic Windows actions. The system will hang there for 5-10 or even 30+ seconds before the action is performed. Here are some examples:

    • Clicking to highlight a file, folder, or icon.
    • Clicking a text field, such as the Search field and address field
    • Typing in general
    • Notification windows - delay in displaying any content. Strange thing is that the buttons can be pressed even though they don't display.
    • Menu dropdowns delay in display
    • Menu bar hover popups and tooltips
    • Scrolling

    These are things I've done already to eliminate potential causes:
    • Checked the Task Manager to make sure memory and CPU load are normal (they are).
    • Updated video driver.
    • Turned off Windows Defender
    • Turned of anti-virus
    • Disabled any overclocking of CPU and video card

    Memory and processor-intensive software and games run normally.

    Any ideas on what's causing this?

    :)
