Note: We’re in the process of deploying this feature starting with today's release of Beta 88, so it might be a little while before you see it in your channel and build. New to sleeping tabs? Read more in our previous blog post. The Microsoft Edge team is on a mission to create a browser that...

Hi, I was using ffmpeg to strip the audio from a video file and it took like 20 minutes and I was not remotely impressed, the audiophile was like 6 hours, I would have thought taking the mp3 from a webm file would be pretty fast, however upon examination of the resources of the cpu it seems it...

Hi everyone, I like to watch a DVD at the weekend which is another region so I have to power up my Windows 10 pc to play it as my standalone player wont read it. The computer usually plays without making the cpu fan go noisy however I find windows likes to start pratting about running other...

I have a Server 2016 (Standard) that I use to run Remote Desktop Services for 7 users. The box has two Xeon E5-2690 (2.9 Ghz) cpus, 256 Gb, and two 2 TB SSD drives. The box had been working flawlessly for ages. Within the last two weeks I've had to resort to restarting it every day...

Specs: i7 8700k GTX 1080 32GB DDR4 RAM Details: A couple of weeks back I noticed my PC slowing down, lots of lag whilst editing in Premiere Pro and games became unplayable, giving me less than 50 frames, I don't have a fps monitor but I'd say near to 10-20 fps. I did a bit of digging and...

I have an Intel i7, and at times I can hear my laptop doing a lot work. I open the task manager to see which app uses so much cpu, and I'd see the cpu usage would be 100%, and 5 seconds later it'd drop down to 20%. I'm pretty sure it's not a visual bug in the task manager because I can literally...

I never had the high Kernel & System CPU usage, but I saw this issue on a friend's computer. The process with PID 4 had a high CPU usage. But that issue solved itself. However, how is disabling HDD timeout (spin down after ** minutes) meant to solve the CPU usage issue? How is it related?

I have 2 (sometimes more) rundll32 processes shown in my taskmanager and one of them repeatedly opens and closes, while the loading icon is flickering next to my cursor. I've already tried restarting the system, Malwarebytes didn't find anything and I couldn't find anything helpful on the...

I was using the Steven Black Hosts File to block malware and Ads. But lately the DNS Client kept activating and using 30 - 50% of my CPU and blocking me from doing anything online. By googling the symptoms of my DNS Client getting stuck like that I found that it can be caused by too large of a...

Hi. I'm an amateur photographer and all my pictures are taken in RAW so they're quite large. I often have hundreds of pictures to browse through but it's a painfully slow process with Windows Photos. This is due to the fact that it changes them; It only seems to do it when I load RAW images...

So, here is the problem. I was looking at Antimalware Service Executable for a long time, then as soon as I start doing something big such as copying a lot of files at once, a lot of the CPU goes to the Antimalware Service Executable, and then what I am copying goes down to literally Kilobytes...

I am having a lot of difficulties with the Store Applications that were installed by Microsoft. Windows 10 performance always becomes severely degraded whenever applications begin transferring information via a non-existing internet connection and/or repeatably fail to update for reasons to...

I'm at the edge of giving up. No matter what I do, what I uninstall or install, how many antivirus scans I do, how closely I watch for what's causing spikes, I can't fix these performance issues. Huge swathes of my CPU and Memory usage are lost on totally invisible processes. I have 8gb of RAM...
