Windows 10: Text editors extremely slow after complete restore

Recently I swapped my laptop's hard drive with a brand new one since the old one was failing. I didn't restore from any backup so I just used the Win10 installation media to install a brand new OS onto my new hard drive, then simply dragged over my important files from the old drive.

Afterwards I noticed that I'm no longer able to edit relative large files (1-10mb, probably not considered large at all for devs) with long overflowing lines with notepad++. Every time I scroll anywhere near sections of the file with very long lines, the fps would drop to like 0.1 making scrolling almost impossible. At first I thought it was a notepad++ problem, so I installed the trial of UltraEdit, but exact same problem. Both were working perfectly fine before I swapped hard drives.

Is this an issue with my computer or something? It's highly unlikely both programs suddenly fails to edit any text file with overflowing lines. I even reverted to older versions of notepad++, still the same problem. Neither program is using the GPU (I have Nvidia Optimus on this laptop) to open.

Edit: just did a test. The moment a single character overflows the edge of the screen (horizontal) requiring scrolling, the program would slow down significantly for that section of the text. The more it overflows (eg, 1000+ characters on one line), the slower it is. Scrolling past that section of the text with lots of overflow would get the program back running full speed.

Edit 2: changing the encoding to Western European iso8859-1 seems to make the performance slightly better (like maybe 0.2fps instead of 0.1fps...) but nowhere near the performance before I swapped hard drives. Also I'm pretty sure the encoding was always UTF8 on my old hard drive.

Sticky Notes slow

Bloody terrible

Too slow to use. For christ sake I only want a text editor permanently on the screen.

Stupid MS!!

 

Lost messages after Nokia Belle Update

Hi,



I have just updated my Nokia N8 to Nokia Belle using Nokia Suite.



During the backup phase of the update the phone experienced problems with some of the backups and had to try a second time, on the second time it apparently completed the backup successfully.



After completing the update, Nokia Suite then tried to restore my backup, this apparently completed but during the "Finish" phase I got the "Something has gone wrong error".



Now after looking at my phone, it has the Nokia Belle software on it, and everything has been restore EXCEPT my text messages.



This is extremely bad, as I had over 4000 text messages on my phone, and hasn't been backed up in several months.



How can I fix this? Please help
