  1. Windows runs insanely slow. But everything else seems fine.


    I'm running Windows 10 on a relativly beefy computer. The cpu, gpu, ram and disks are running normaly and most apps work flawlessly.

    But anything built into windows is incredibly slow and takes forever to start. Sometimes the task manager takes 10 minutes to start. Apps that prompt the windows saftey popup (The "This app can cause changes" popup) take forever to open cause it wont show untill 5 minutes later.

    I ran malwarebytes but it came up with nothing.
    CPU temps look normal (About 50C)

    Any ideas what might be the problem?

    System specs and such: Intel Core i7-7700 CPU, 32Gb 2400MHz Ram, 1Tb HDD, GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.OS Build: 19041.746

    Insanely slow HDD random read/write

    I'm playing tech support for a relative, and her (ASUS K53E) laptop SATA HDD has insanely slow random read/write. Sequential r/w is around 74 MB/s, which seems fine, but random is around 1 MB/s. Hard disk health is fine according to S.M.A.R.T. Win10 1709 Pro x64. Pentium B960; HM65 Express chipset using the Microsoft Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver. Windows update doesn't have any driver updates; Intel driver tool returns nothing; Asus website has no Windows 10 drivers. I'm at a loss, any suggestions?
