Windows 10: Windows 10 acting really slow

Hey guys,

When I come to start to use my computer I load up into windows 10 and it seems to be laggy and slow, taking even the simplest apps ages to load and I'm insure why as it was working last night when I used it last

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

:)

 

Windows 10 creators update takes so much time to install

I'm having the same problem, I'm currently on 6 hours and haven't got passed 65% for installation and my system is really acting slow on top of it!

 

today I was trying to refresh my emails and it came up with the Code 0x0505004

Original Tilte - Code 0x05050041

Ever since I've downloaded Windows 10 on to my laptop it has been acting really slow. Then since last Friday (4th of December) every time I turn on my laptop it would say that it wasn't connected to a Windows Server. Then today I was trying to refresh my
emails and it came up with the Code 0x0505004. Not sure what to do?

 

Same issue at the moment. The Performance part of the TaskMan doesn't show to any app culprits although the task "system" sometimes hogs up to 90% of the disk.

Tried reboots, reg cleaners, clearing my apps from startup via msconfig and its still slow as hell. Chrome is unusable, edge works at a crawl.

Any tips would be immensely appreciated!

Cheers

 

I read some guys posted to format and do a clean install with win 10.
Havent tried though so I cant confirm that.

 

I bit the bullet and started a clean install on my desktop PC yesterday. I don't have all my apps installed yet, but I have had no problems with slow-downs. Comparing the upgrade to the clean install, the speed difference is very noticeable.

I upgraded from 7 Ultimate to 10 Pro. First, I did an in-place upgrade to make sure all my applications worked. That gave an easy path to roll back to 7 if needed. All my apps worked in 10, but some were very slow. Explorer, Chrome, and Edge were the worst offenders. Occasionally, right-clicking the task bar to bring up task manager would take 10 seconds or longer. My old laptop (clean "insider" install of 10) with lower specs was blazing fast compared to the much more powerful desktop PC. That told me I needed to do the clean install on the desktop PC.

Of course, YMMV.

 

Your Mileage May Vary

 

Have you tried disabling sharing Windows Updates via p2p?

I guess, you have tried CCleaner/WiseCare. Run this via CMD as admin:
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

 

I did get Quicken to load much quicker by running compatibility checker in it's program properties. Win changed compatibility setting after running troubleshooter. Try this for slow loading apps.
Still high cpu and disk usage going on. Seems to be background system process which I can't nail down.

 

My Windows 10 machine is also very slow. Chrome and Edge are not as quick as when I first had Windows 10 installed.

 

Runtime broker process using 30-40% of cpu when no programs or apps running. This is a big complaint with no real solution. Some think it was a recent security update. I end the process and cpu slows to normal but then it comes back. Computer runs with fan a lot. This has to be slowing it down. Printing also much slower than before I upgraded.

 

See this post: Runtime broker "eats" a lot of CPU in Windows 10. After installation of the KB's, computer runs as quickly as Win 8.1.

 

Well, I guess I need to a clean install. I am not happy w/the speed of my PC. It's a decent machine AMD A6, 8gb memory and Samsung 840 SSD but it's too laggy w/W10. W7 was quick.

 

ChrisPbass try installing the KBs I mentioned.

 

I am not having problems with runtime broker. Do you still think the kbs would help?
