  1. Why does windows 10 fiddle around with things alot in the background?


    Like I constantly see random files from system32, just running in the background for no reason using a high amount of ram or cpu usage. Also yes it's not viruses, I did multiple antivirus scans and they were clean and all the files were legit ones from sys32.

    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

    Hi Ronald,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to change back the background time to 10 seconds:

    • Type this command: control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper to open old Control Panel settings, and then click
      OK.
    • Select your preferred desktop background and under "Change picture every" option, choose
      10 seconds.
    • Click Save changes.
