Windows 10: why all of a certain amount of time my computer just stops responding and run slow

why all of a certain amount of time my computer just stops responding and run slow

:)

 

Cortana is slow to respond.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and it is running Windows 10. My problem is that when I first turn my computer on and ask Cortana a question it is slow to respond. It isn't slow after my computer has been running for a while. Any suggestions?

 

Windows Explorer Stops Responding on Certain Folder


Hello. Recently, I had two instances when Windows Explorer stopped responding when I tried to access a folder. The first time, it seemed to focus on two video files and when I deleted the files, the folder was fine. The next time, I could not access the folder. I could access my back up on the NAS drive, but Windows Explorer would stop responding when I tried to access the folder on my secondary hard drive on the computer. I deleted the folder and copied the folder from the NAS drive to the secondary drive, but it yielded the same problem. I renamed the folder and I am now able to access the folder.

Do these two instances suggest a problem with my hard drive or with my current state of Windows 10?

Thanks for your input.

 

Certain Programs Stop responding.

Started off with CCC starting to stop responding and I not being able to launch it.

Then I uninstalled CCC then installed Driver Sweeper ran it in safe mode (To reinstall CCC Drivers) went to launch Driver Sweeper and I get the messaged that it too stops responding at launch.

So I reboot to normal windows try launching it from there same thing.

So I go to check Event Viewer and then I get another Stops Responding so it too won't launch.

The sad thing is this is a 2 day old Windows 7 Fresh install fully updated with SP1.

I am OCing so perahps this is due to OC? I was playing BF3 and launching programs just fine.

But before all this I did leave my PC on and when I came back I had several errors appear with Aero off (Default Win 95 UI on). (Don't recall the errors didn't think much of them at the time)

Could this Be failing memory or bad Mem OC? 1850mhz @ 9-9-9 for 1600mhz Ripjaws.
