Thank you so much. It’s sometimes difficult to find troubleshooting videos that can talk you through things as comprehensively and as succinctly as you do. This video fixed my problem. In my task manager I noticed that the system kept spiking up in usage randomly and my disk usage was consistently at 100% without running anything but the task manager itself. I believe the first item on this video’s list helped with some things, but item #5 is where I saw most of the improvement. Before, sometimes it would take somewhere around 15 seconds to open just my Windows Start menu. Blegh. Thank you again. Very helpful.

If none works then please try these: 1) Run system file scan (don't ignore this as this may sound as a basic and less likely way but I would like to tell you that it worked for me feel bad why I didn't do it earlier), 2) Make sure super-fetch (SysMain) service is running it improves a lot of system performance. 3) While SysMain usually improves performance it may sometimes be the culprit itself. Go ahead and try disabling it temporarily, if that works (now don't just be a speedo wait a minute for your pc to take a breath and then check it) and if it doesn't enable it again.

sysmain is an app preloader,its helps load the app faster so you can use it quicker but disabling it will make it more longer to load and ready for use but it would boost the performance of using the app and stop from frequent slight freeze and less lag. Sysmain marks app you frequently use though so it will preload marked apps,so basically its safe to disable it

[@Lodymes]

Sorry i forgot to tell, Microsoft renamed superfetch to "sysmain"

I have had this problem since windows 10 released years ago. Oddly enough only on my laptops. In any case, It is massively annoying and if there was a realistic alternative to Windows I would jump ship like all the upper class on the Titanic. What often works for me more than any other is to restore my computer to a point where it was running as it should be. Thanks for the vid.

[@noblej7897]

Use Linux if you can't stand the normal issues of windows , ubuntu is designed for general use. You can use a virtual machine to run windows to run anything you want to use that requires Windows.

Use Windows 7 its much much better and faster and easier.
