This is a little weird, but I have noticed a BIG slowdown in some few areas of my PC. It performs well in games (i7-5820K, GTX 970, AAA Titles run with 60FPS+) and most other stuff, but a few things are INCREDIBLY slow, while they are nearly instant on my Surface Pro i7 2017. I have tried reinstalling affected applications, but not windows yet. Here are a few things that are wrong:
- Opening Office apps takes way longer than it should
- If you go into the Word formula editor and press on one of the tabs with different symbols like Matrices, different options will come up. The images for these can take up to a minute loading every time I reopen word.
- Searches within some apps like Chrome or Adobe can take up to 5 times as long as on the Surface.
This doesn't seem right, is there any way I can check if everything is working as usual without reinstalling windows?
Do you have any third-party anti-virus software installed? What’s shown in Task Manager’s “Performance” tab when your system is slower than expected? Make sure to enable “Show graphs” in the left area to see all information. Could you perhaps elaborate on the search performance issue? It’s kind of out of place: In theory, it involves only memory access. How are you searching? How big are the documents you’re searching in? – Daniel B – 2017-12-09T19:04:53.020
@DanielB Only windows defender.
About the search I am not sure anymore, the Chrome history results on both devices are actually not completely the same, so maybe I just have a longer history on my PC, even though it's supposed to sync everything.
If I do 1 and 2 my CPU usage rises to about 30%, no other significant changes. – Tomhawk – 2017-12-09T19:33:18.130
