Windows 10: Will reducing the number of threads speed up Windows 10?

I currently have 149 processes running, using 1468 threads.

The computer is very slow, much slower than Windows 7.


If I reduce the above numbers, will I get back the old performance?

Web browsing reduced speed with Windows 10

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

It could be due to the Network Adapters drivers or Security Software. I would suggest you to follow the steps and check:

Method 1:
Run the Internet Connection Troubleshooter and check.

Internet connections troubleshooter allows check for any errors or incorrect settings and fixes them. You can refer these steps to run this troubleshooter:

• • • • • • 
            Open Control Panel.
            
          • 
            Type “Troubleshoot” without quotes in the search and click on
            Troubleshooting.
            
          • 
            In the new window click
            View all on the left pane.
            
          • 
            In the list of options, click on
            Internet Connection.
            
          • 
            Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
            

Method 2: I would suggest you to try in Safe Mode with Networking and check.

Step 1:

Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

Press and hold the shift key while clicking on Restart at the login Screen (Bottom right corner).

• • • • 
        Select Troubleshootand click on Advanced Options.
        
      • 
        Select Startup Settingsand click on
        Restart.
        
      • 
        After restarting, choose Enable Safe modewith networking.
        

If the issue does not persists in Safe Mode, then perform a Clean Boot to check if any third party application is causing the issue, as Clean Boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

Step 2

Put the computer in Clean Boot and check if it helps.

By setting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

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
