So apparently Windows decided to automatically update itself while I was away from the PC. When I’m trying to log in, it takes ridiculously long (around 30-40 minutes). So I tried restarting, but startup is SUPER slow to the point that I’m stuck waiting for a black screen of death. Why is my PC slow after this recent update?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
EXACTLY!! Windows pushes bloated updates and should have the foresight to ensure the new **** meets original system requirements. Instead they prefer to screw with 2-3 year laptops. Even my Alienware which is not exactly an Amazon doorbuster.
Roll everything back!!!!!
Hi Richard
All I did was to create an image (Ghost) of my Brand New Installation of Win10(Yuk) and thus far it is running pefectly touch wood.
When it starts to slow down all I will do is re-install Windows 10. As I stated previously all my data is backed onto a separate disk thus I do not lose any data and my primary apps eg. Office Acrobat etc get re-installed. I use Samsung software and it takes in all about 20 minutes to re-install my 500Gb SSD.
Cheers
Sorry to microsoft peoples... We know that you are doing this purposely...
Please don't act like this...
Or....... Maybe Microsoft just stops being so goddam intrusive and annoying?
Hi Greg can you please repeat all of the above, but this time in English for us poor Aussies. To blow your argument I have just spent 4 bloody hours installing windows 10 on a Brand New Hard Drive, Lenovo Laptop, 1Tb HDD, 8gb RAM DDR3, i7 Intel Processor, 8th Gen.
I upgraded from Win 7 Ultimate and by Jingo my Win 7 moved a lot faster then Win 10. So perhaps we in Australia do not get the proper win 10 or something fishy is going on.
I previously had Win 10 on a PC running similar specs and I went back to Win 7 because I spent half my life waiting for Win 10 to download upgrades etc and the other half waiting to install them. No wonder I went back to Win 7 so at least I could do some work. Today I decided to give Win 10 another go, so purchased a Brand New HHD (What a waste of Money) and installed Win 10, this evening. Looks like Nothing has changed, if anything it is a lot worse Soooooooooooooo Slooooooooooooooow - NOT HAPPY JAN You Guessed it looks like I will be going back to Windows 7 Ultimate on my Laptop and Sticking with WIN & Ultimate on my PC much to Microsoft's disappointment.
