    why is W10 so slow ?


    Just upgraded to 10 from 7 and it went pretty well except for one thing. Everything from the browser (especially youtue vids which take long to start playing) use to windows itself seems slow and buggy like what you get when you have too little memory. And i DO have a fairly low amount (8GB) but not for things like browsing and windows. For gaming, sure thats low, but even thats less laggy/slow than windows and browsing. I have turned a lot of things off but to no avail.
    Also, i am the only person on this PC and therefore considered admin and the PC does say i am. Yet it doesn't let me turn some things off in services. Why is that and is there a way to change that? I never had that issue with 7. Turning certain things off may well help me figure this out but when i can't it's just that much harder to fix this thru process of elimination. Thanks for any help u can give.

    :)

    why has my laptop slowed down so much since W10 Fine when W7 ?

    firstly-thank you

    please note that i am basically an ignoramus re tech stuff

    at least some of the problem/s relate to both your points 1 and 2-e.g the laptop i currently use only has 3meg ram

    however the problems are many and erratic !

    0lease note i always clear history/cache stuff etc

    i know adobe flash player is a major problem and i simply dont bother with MS Edge (google seems the least worst browser!)

    just trying to respond to you was a job (many attempts)

    often if i dont get err timed out etc I get the following types of presentation (irregular and erraticaly)-

    Hi,

    This issue could have occurred due to the following reasons:

    • Memory issues.
    • Conflict between the third party applications.
    Please follow the below steps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run System Maintenance troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    a) Press the Windows key on the keyboard.

    b) Type troubleshooter in the search box and then press enter.

    c) Select Troubleshooting. Click on view all and select System Maintenance.

    d) Click next and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to boot the computer to Safe Mode and check if the issue occurs. If the issue do not occur in Safe Mode, I suggest you to set the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to refer the article and check if it helps.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: If the issue do not occur in Safe Mode, perform a clean boot and check. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After clean boot troubleshooting steps, refer to the section "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot" in the provided link to return your computer to Normal startup mode.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you.

    Thank you.
