    Windows 10 system unresponsive, hanging and programs not responding.


    Hey! I just did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and upgraded to Windows 10.
    My issue is that the system is unresponsive, programs are not responding.
    I took a video but I can`t seem to find any posibility to post it here, so you can`t see what I`m going through.
    It is really annoying, and it`s just messed up. Multitasking hangs, shows programs in the background and what not... What to do? *Sad((

    I`m also thinking it is a memory leak, I have 25-30% RAM use after bootup....

    System specs (Intel NUC DN2820)
    CPU: Intel Celeron N2830 Dual Core @ 2.4GHz
    SSD: Corsair Force GT 240GB
    RAM: Single 8GB Adata

    :)

    Windows 10 system unresponsive, programs not responding

    It doesn`t happen all the time... It`s just sometimes. But I actually thinking it is a memory leak, I got 15-30% RAM use when booted from a complete shutdown...

    Hello,

    Thank you for the update.

    As the issue is intermittent, then having tried booting in safe mode, you can perform clean boot to eliminate the faulty service causing the issue.

    Step 1: a) Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

    b) In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click
    ‘Ok’.

    c) Click the ‘Boot’ tab and uncheck ‘Safe Boot’ option.

    d) On the ‘General’ tab, click to select the option
    ‘Selective startup’
    , and then click to clear the option Load startup items check box.

    e) On the ‘Services’ tab, click to select the ‘Hide all Microsoft services’ check box, and then click ‘Disable all’.

    f) On the ‘StartUp’ tab, click ‘Open Task Manager’.
    In the Task Manager window under startup tab,
    right click on each startup item which are enabled and select ‘Disable’.

    g) Click ‘OK’, and then click Restart.

    Step 2: Enable half of the services

    a.
    Follow steps 1a and 1b to start the System Configuration utility.

    b. Click the Services tab, and then click to select the
    Hide all Microsoft services
    check box.

    c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

    d. Click OK, and then click Restart.

    Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns.

    If the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the
    Service list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one service is selected in the Service list, and you still experience the problem, the selected service causes the problem. Go to step 6. If no service causes this problem, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Enable half of the Startup items

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services
    check box in either step.

    Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the
    Startup Item list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one startup item is selected in the Startup Item list, and you still experience the problem, the startup item that is selected in the list is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services check box
    in either step.

    Step 6: Resolve the problem.

    After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box for the
    problem item.

    Step 7: Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to boot to normal startup.

    a) Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

    b) In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click
    ‘Ok’.

    c) On the ‘General’ tab, click the ‘Normal Startup’ option, and then click
    ‘OK’.

    d) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click ‘Restart’.

    Hope the information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.

    Disable or untick the task view application by deselecting this when you right click on the task bar. This made things go back to normal for me. The task view button seems to eat up disk usage when running in the background.
    I hope this helps

    I believe it is, and I starting to think it is a memory leak....
    But I have not seen this problem before! I run the same OS on my fileserver and used the same USB stick to install WIndows 8.1 Pro (activated with two different keys) and upgraded!
    But it is not happening all the time....
