Windows 10 slow after clean install

Ok, so I'm doing a fresh install now, despite the fact the external HDD seemed to have been what caused Win to lose its mind. Driver issue?

Had this issue a couple of times and it was the secondary HDD failing - Delayed/read/write failure.
-Just noticed you mentioned it's an external: Try another USB port?
 
The mystery surrounding the patch Tuesday delay deepens! It would appear that part of the problem is/was that Patch Tuesday fell on Valentines Day this month! Seems Love rules supreme with key personnel not available to undertake the background work for patch Tuesday may be part of the delay! :love:

And then the rest of the World has a cheek to talk about "African Time" :wtf:;):whistle:

Holy smoke, so I backed up everything to my external HDD, shutdown the PC, and booted it up again without the HDD. Now it seems to run perfectly smooth? :wtf:
I don't get it? Nothing runs off it, I just store files on there.

I find win 10 extremely slow resolving network drives compare to windows 7. But in your case it seems like a local drive (external driver) issue.
 
Sigh, here we are again. Seems to be fine now, except now I sit with another issue. As I have an SSD as my main drive, I decided to check out whether trim is active, and took some advice to heart and manually turned off SuperFetch, PreFetch, Defrag, Indexing and Windows Search. As I like to be able to search outlook, I turned Windows Search on again.

Anyway, now I have a problem... Copying a 12kb file from a folder on my desktop to my desktop took 1 minute, and deleting the same took 2 minutes. Wasn't happy, so turned indexing back on. No difference. Am I doing something wrong? I just copied the same file from my external HDD to the SSD and it was instantaneous.
 
some more FB on the release that wasn't is to be found here

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...date-kb3216755

Applications/callers that load KB 3216755 versions of the System.data.dll libraries may experience memory leaks. In extreme cases, such leaks can cause service or application crashes. The rate of the leak increases with the number of SQL queries issued by the calling app.

This issue will be addressed in a future release.

So yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 10 (because of reasons...PC didn't sleep properly etc).
Anyway, I for one block MS IPs to stop my PC from phoning home - maybe keep this in mind. I installed Win10, it activated, I had it do updates (keeping in mind I blocked MS IPs after I updated), and proceeded with reinstalling my crap. So the issues I had before are gone, but I find the PC to be significantly more sluggish now than before - some programs suffering more than others. RAM usage is fine, and I have a 1 year old i7 processor so I doubt it's hardware related. Few things seem smooth (my animations and visual effects are on), and my typing lags at times. Good old Slack lags when scrolling, and the same can be said about Opera.

Any ideas as to why this can be?


Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong place, I see no windows discussion categories.

Check cpu speed in monitor, smartstep is limiting my 2.8 i7 to .87ghz most of the time... Annnnnoying issue.. coz even with it disabled in bios.. somehow w10 still controls.. next step when i have time will be to find and remove the driver.
 
Looks like the patches planned for this month have now been cancelled completely. The next official update including fixes for the memory leak issues and other security matters will now take place on March 14th.
 
It might be not relevant as it happened on Windows 7.

Someone did intall Firefox browser update on the 31st of January. It came with separate "optimalization" module, do not remember exact name. Since then laptop became terrible slow. Once I uninstalled this module from Control Panel everything came back to normal.

Are you referring to the Mozilla Maintenance Service because I see no optimization module?

Most probably. It was the only additional component installed together with Firefox. Uninstalled and Windows 7 (in my case) came back to the normal performance.
 
Some security patches have been released today. Adobe flash player is one that is listed but insiders say there are others as well. (KB4010250).

Seems MS was pressurised into this short list release after Google had a go at them.
