  1. Windows 10 update slowing down laptop?


    So about a month ago I started playing Watch Dogs 2 on my laptop, it ran perfectly fine at Ultra settings with a great frame rate.

    However, a couple weeks back Windows 10 started pestering me about an update, so I reluctantly let it do its thing, and now everything's just running slower! Watch Dogs 2 runs at maybe 25 fps for about 20 seconds at a time, periodically slowing way down to about 5 fps.

    I also edit videos in Adobe Premiere Pro, which since the update has begun lagging heavily when playing back the timeline.


    I've looked into restoring my old copy of Windows but apparently that feature was only available for the April 2018 update (presumably the one I had a couple weeks ago)


    How do I go back to a previous version? It's driving me nuts as I can't have my programs slowing down like this while I'm trying to edit videos for Uni assignments etc!


    Cheers,

    Oliver

    no, you can't go back..
    I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

  3. Windows 10 download speed issues

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.

    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
