Windows 10: Win 10 problems

I have several problems with win 10. I cannot type in the windows search box . I am also having a lag when typing. It does not happen all the time. There may be a short delay or longer delay or nothing appears at all. I have also noticed my computer has started to slow down. However I think this might be due to a mouse lag, but I am not sure. I have tried the following with no success:


Restart

Tried 2 different keyboards in different ports

Uninstalled the keyboard

Updated keyboard drivers

Changed keyboard properties by setting repeat rate to fast

Set filter keys to off

Ran troubleshooter for keyboard and search and index

Reindexed files

Ran Chkdsk to scan and repair

Restarted explorer and cortana using task manager

Reinstalled cortana

Tried to run DISM but got an error message that source file could not be found


I am out of ideas and patience. I have not fiddled with the registry files. I am just an average user and I like to keep away from those files.


I am thinking I might need to do PC reset. I understand that I will have to reinstall applications. I do have steam games on an external drive. Would they still be there when I reinstall Steam ? What happens to all the updates that have been installed ? What else should I be aware of before I try this ?


I'm beside myself at this point. If I was not into gaming I would already be a Mac user.

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

Win 10 build 10240 to Threshold 2 update problem on 16G tablet


Thanks, that is a very comprehensive list of suggestions. However, I have done almost all of the steps you've listed...except uninstalling the apps. Even if I deleted virtually all my installed apps (most were installed on the D drive anyway, except for the ones that would only install on C), it may leave just barely enough room to get to the 5G needed for the install...but then where would I be.....an operating system running on a tablet, with hardly any apps on it....an anchor! The problem with apparently no answer is WinSxS!

It seems that even though Win 10 will install and run on the small little 16G tablets, they can not be updated over a period of time as the Windows and WinSxS folder continue to grow out of bounds. Thus leaving a 16G C drive device fairly useless for any useful purpose. The only option (it appears), is to do a fresh reformat and install, with every new Win 10 upgrade down the line, thus starting with a small WinSxS each time, instead of one that balloons with every program install and software upgrade.

Any other ideas, greatly accepted....thanks all!
