Since installing the Windows 10 Anniversary update, booting has been slow and the PC is sluggish for a while. As soon as I could get Task Manager open I saw C: had 100% utilisation. I ran Resource Monitor and saw that MsMpEng apparently had a long list of my installed programs running at the...

Did a clean install from recovery disks to new drive. Seems to be ok, so first thing I tried to do is run Windows Update, but it just runs and runs and runs. Probably 5 hours now. Taskmgr shows svchost running an almost constant 25%, pretty much nothing else using any CPU. Is it normal for...

A couple of weeks ago I got a message that I had virtually no space on my C drive (3 x 40GB SSD in RAID 0). This was a big surprise. I am running Windows 7 PRO. I removed some restore points to get back to 7 GB of free space. I then did a disk cleanup to get to 11 GB. Since then, the free...

I disabled the "Tablet PC Input Service" in Services management console for a Desktop 64bit Win 7. I guess this is the underlying service for WISPTIS.EXE Now when I start some other tools like "Toad for MySQL" then this program is started automatically anyway. It is running as...

When I boot up windows 7, an hour glass appears. But of late it takes longer and longer for the hour-glass to disappear. I understand that some function/app or otherwise is in the background, possibly loading. How can I find out what is running in the background that the system is trying...

Me again, I have a new Win7 Pro machine. It appears it's only updated to SP-1. Yesterday I asked it to check for updates. It returned 'Checking for Updates'. It was still checking for updates when I went to bed with no result. Other machines would come back with the number and type of...

I have a HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF with WIN 7 Pro 64-bit operation system OEM installed, and SP1 and windows activated. For the life of me I cannot get it to upgrade to WIN 10 Pro. It downloaded the WIN 10 and went through it's cycle till it came to "searching for updates" and it has been...

I have spent months trying to diagnose why a couple of my systems will not enter any power save states. Late last year i narrowed it down to the fact that i have several game controllers plugged in. When googling 'Windows 10 joystick sleep' i suddenly became aware i was not alone. It seems now...

I want to reinstall Windows 10 Pro (clean install) on my 2 in 1 tablet because its becoming very slow. 1. If I do a backup and after the clean install I restore (the backup), will it be the same as if I had kept it the way it was (slow; without taking into account the components itself: wear and...
