Windows 10 extremely slow after upgrade to version 21H1

so now i have reset the laptop keeping the user settings. essentially a reinstall of windows 10.

still no joy,

i notice that the cpu is throttled at 13% and memory does not go past 45%. someone is playing a wicked joke :)

even when i open a 30MB excel file with lots of calc the cpu does not tick past 13% (running intel i7, 16gb of memory)

surely we are not the only ones with this problem

Yes HP assistant and Intelius support assistant both helped me along with many sleepless nights pulling my hair out and searching Google because getting the information that I know is out there somewhere is like pulling teeth. Now my next task Tic-Tac to tackle is to get a hold of Google and find out a permanent fix for the Android webview app crashing and having to uninstall updates on Google Play Store in Google Chrome and removing my account. My S21 Ultra is 6 months old with absolutely no damage no viruses it's checked with the cash clean everyday. It's got the McAfee system on it as well as Samsung protection yet we've done three factory reset we've Reef last the software and something in Android webview app keeps crashing all of my Google apps so I can get around the Play Store but cannot update or download. It continuously disconnect my phone from both Wi-Fi and mobile data to the point where I have to completely Wipe Out the cache partition I have to fix the apps both in safe mode then I re re log into my phone I removed my Google account from everything on my phone. Ivory added it it's been to the repair place and nothing they can do can stop this Android webview from updating and crashing everything in my phone I'm about to throw the damn thing out the window

You're very lucky you fixed your problem. I'm using AMD and I had to go to their site and locate and update for my chipset and graphics. So far this has helped and it is better than it was but not completely cured

Things were running fine until I got an automatic update which asked for an restart, then the problem reappeared. I think the update that was installed was:

Intel - System - 2108.100.0.1053

But then yesterday I had two optional Intel driver updates:

Intel - SoftwareComponent - 1.41.2021.121

Intel - SoftwareComponent - 2109.0.52.0

I installed them and hurrah! things are back to normal. Tried reboot twice after this and still good.

I put a new hard drive in the machine and started from scratch and it is working very well,

I am on OS build 19043.1151 as a scratch install and I have reinstalled all of the productivity software I use including VS, Office etc and

it is working very well.

I think there is a driver conflict somewhere probably a simple setting in the registry that has caused a timing issue somewhere.

I am just guessing but if I get bored enough I may swap back the old drive and see if I can detect the main differences.....

I am really tired of Microsoft updates and changes as it is now RARE that I do not have a client somewhere with a problem that was caused by a rollout. Barely have time to fix those let alone major issues like these. I have to get some work done once in a while.

Best of Luck,
