Windows 10: Windows 10 Anniversary Laggy Response from Programs

Hi All

Laggy Response from Programs, I should have more than enough memory and processor speed and internet speed, but so laggy I can barely type in the one program

Programs running
MS Edge
Firestorm viewer, 3rd party Secondlfie viewer
VIrtualDj 8.2.3343 think Version

and Avast Antivirus real time protection

System is in the specs
Anniversary Was clean installed on August 16th 2016

:)

 

windows 10 is laggy

windows 10 has been acting a bit laggy after a fresh install of the anniversary update. typing words is laggy, opening apps take a bit longer than usual, and whenever i move the mouse around, the apps take a few seconds to highlight. I need help!

 

Virtual onscreen trackpad

I need some help.

We have a program called that does a virtual on screen trackpad. Microsoft recently released an onscreen trackpad with the anniversary update. Which made me really happy! It works smoother than ours and in a few situations where we are really
laggy the windows trackpad stayed buttery smooth.

I would be beyond thrilled to be able to talk to some of the team responsible for the windows trackpad and see if we can figure out what we need to change or do to get that same amazingly smooth response from the virtual mouse pointer (we used to be called
touchmousepointer )

any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

 

Hi, can you please post a screenshot or screenshots as appropriate of your task manager, making sure anything of interest using resources is shown at the top by organising the relevant column by clicking on the tab at the top?

Could you also please comment on performance/responsiveness
a. after a clean boot
b. in Safe Mode

Noting you've installed some programs, was Windows responsive when you first installed it?

 

Hi All

Ok last night while using Virtual Dj, Plus Firestorm viewer and MS Edge was suddenly laggy, Originally clean install just had Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti Exploit, and Malwarebytes free, switched back to Avast though a week or so later, as seem to prefer Avast for some reason...Will post the screenshots and hopefully have a conclusion possibly on why the lag happens


System is not laggy in Safe mode, and currently not lagging, don't know exactly why it was last night at this point, I keep up on Dust clean outs, and maintenance, Temps are Excellent I think lol

 

Hi: nothing stands out from your task man screenshots- am I right in understanding your PC wasn't slow to respond at the time you created them

Don't think you commented on these please as asked before?

Could you also please comment on performance/responsiveness
a. after a clean boot

Noting you've installed some programs, was Windows responsive when you first installed it?

 

When First Installed had no lag at all, I had the same programs open when I created the Screenshots, but couldn't get the lag to recreate then, I ran it over an hour, Firestorm viewer, MS Edge, VirtualDj program, streaming and all, and Skype open, but still couldn't get it to recreate at all.

System was very responsive on clean boot


Last night symptoms was very slow to type, music was streaming with Virtualdj from my usb 2.0 external hard drive, headset was plugged into another usb 2.0 port as well, System is AMD 8 Core FX 8310, 8gb of ram, R7 240 video card, 1tb hard drive.

Avast was clean installed when new version came out 12.3.2280 properly, so should be all fine

sfc/scannow and dism online cleanup image found nothing

 

Ok, so now do a clean boot, and progressively enable programs until you notice lag, giving enough time in each case.
Clean Boot - Perform in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts - Windows 10 Forums

You may have an incompatible or older program, or even need to update your BIOS (one or two reports of people having to do that after the anniversary upgrade)

 

Yes will do that, and see how it peforms, and post back shortly here, checked Asus site for bios update, didn't see any listed at all for this model

Noticed issue with Comcast Cable Gateway, Only bonding 1 upstream channel currently, usually bond 3-4 channels, so might be the actual lag cause

 

Try pulling Avast out. Use the Uninstall program from their site. Run it in safe mode. I bet that fixes it.

 

Yes will try that, and hopefully does fix it for good

 

Ok Seems to be running fine at this point now, despite sometimes major lag in Secondlife game, and high memory usage at times, cause unknown on that, possibly Secondlife 3rd party viewer

Also When I did my Windows 10 Anniversary 64bit Professional Edition clean install, didn't use diskpart and clean all, just formatted thru Windows Setup, did I make a mistake? I can always redo it one more time if need be when I got time. UEFI mode is enabled, and Secureboot as well, otherwise working fine though, May wait til I got printer ink though in case I need to print any instructions out to get it done properly

 

One thing I noticed on your second Programs and Features screenshot is that you have NVIDIA Physx installed. As you have an AMD GPU there seems no point in having Physx installed. Physx could be patched to work on an AMD card a few years ago but not any longer, all it would possibly do is try and use the CPU to run.

 

Think it installed with one of the games, but not sure which one, I suppose I could remove it, and see if it affects any of the games

Removed Train Sim Game, never played it, World of Warships, PhysX looks to have uninstalled also in that process

 

Probably best to as the GPU can't use it anyway.
