    Sudden Deterioration in Windows 10 PC Performance


    I have just experienced a sudden and significant deterioration in the performance of my Windows 10 PC. Apps are taking much longer to load and open, and I get repeated “not responding” hang-ups, especially with Excel which I use a lot.

    This sudden deterioration in performance seems to coincide with the auto download and installation of Windows 10 update KB4023057 on Fri, 06, Jul, 18. Strangely, this update is listed in “Installed Update History”, but is not listed when opening “Uninstall Updates”

    My PC is an ASUS all in one desktop less than 6 months old, with 4.00 GB of RAM, and running Windows 10 64bit home edition on an Intel i5-8250U processor. Windows version is 1709 and OS Build is 16299.492.

    Most of my usage involves concurrent use of MS Excel, Adobe Acrobat and a fast fiber optic internet connection. I find it doubtful therefore that system resources are a problem, especially as the problem was non-existent prior to the last 24 hours.

    I would much appreciate any insights or recommendations aimed at resolving this issue.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Those were the first steps I took, but I don't recall offhand if I ran the TFC. I'll have to give that a shot when I get home.
