Windows 10: Windows Update 10 v1903 - Slow PC

Hi,

I recently attempted to install Windows 10 v1903.

The installation failed - for an unknown reason - and my PC began to run significantly slower.

I attempted to restart the PC but found everything exceptionally laggy - dragging windows around had seconds before responding.

I read up online and disconnected USB's and attempted to reinstall Windows 10 Update v1903. This time it again failed. I attempted to roll back to v1809.

The PC has been slow ever since - I figured perhaps a driver or something got corrupted. I reinstalled Windows and I reinstalled my previous versions of graphics drivers. This has yet to work.

Finally, I attempted to reinstall windows 10 v1903 and the download has lasted 8h+

Why is my computer now so much slower? And how in the world to I undo the changes which made this happen, when all things considered, nothing should be in a state where it was unaltered?

(I am writing this as v1903 is installing. I suspect I will get a reply to this before it completes, and if not I'm happy to answer any responses with if the installation succeeded).

Finally, to demonstrate the issue, I was able to play Rage 2 on Ultra settings and getting FPS of 70-80. After this mishap I'm lucky if I get 30. Similarly, the game Warhammer Total War 2, times out due to how long the launch takes (was around 20 seconds to now being 15 minutes+)

:)

 

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
