    Windows 10 running slower


    I am using the windows 10 version 1903 , but i doubt if i am really using it because it has become so slow , similar to an older version.Whenever i close my laptop leaving some files open and again open it later its like the computer freezes and nothing operates ,especially when Microsoft Edge is open , it neither opens nor closes, and i keep clicking on the cross mark but no response. Finally I have to force shut down the laptop closing the files without Saving [ lose all the work] . Tried using windows defender scan And some free antivirus application but problem still persists . Even openin

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    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

  4. Windows 10 running slower

    Game run slower on win10 1803 build.

    Hi.

    I own dell Vostro 5568 Intel(R) Core(TM) I5-7200U CPU 2.5 GHz 2.7GHz

    SSD 255GB and Intel HD 520 - NVIDIA 940MX.

    since the last windows update a game I play started to run slower and when I say slower I mean like the character movements are slower like an fps drop.

    I got all the updates from dell site also for my graphic card.

    I optimized my win10 to max performance.

    i added the game to the list in Nvidia control panel and made it to run for performance only.

    Power Settings are on Performance as well but game still run slower. it did run better on the 1709 build but I can't go back since I made fresh install of the 1803 build.

    any suggestions?

    game called mu online.
