    To fix it you can follow these directions:

    1. get a USB stick
    2. go to Linux Mint website and download the ISO
    3. download RUFUS and install
    4. Use RUFUS to burn a bootable USB
    5. You can install aside to Windows or replace Windows

    With Linux Mint running the UI will be similar to Windows and you should be able to get full speed for you data updates.

    You and, I both know that. That’s not the answer I was looking for. Windows has a serious design issue with this efficiency mode. It runs when you don’t want it to. They need to fix it.
