It may or may not have come after an update, but Edge constantly uses too much CPU. Even closing it down doesn't kill the process and it keeps using CPU, I have to kill the process myself. Edge doesn't start at boot. Edge's behavior is also abnormal. If I click on the title bar, the computer...

After leaving the computer idle for some time, like overnight, I find the computer apparently awake (sleep light not on), with the hard drive light irregularly but dimly flashing, and no way to access it. Neither mouse clicks nor any key on the keyboard does anything, nor is there any apparent...

I noticed that the screen sometimes starts to flicker after long sessions, then the computer becomes unresponsive, then I get to a black screen with a mouse pointer, then ~30 seconds later I am on the lock screen and I have been logged out. I am not sure, if a full video memory caused that, but...

I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my Lenovo laptop. I found out when I tried to register the install that the version I installed was the home premium version rather than the 7 basic the computer came with. I have ordered a new copy of 7 home premium, but in the mean time, my DVD drive rarely...

Hello there, I'm using a Windows 10 laptop (Asus R510V) that I bought about 2 or 3 months ago. Everything was working fine, but a couple of weeks ago, Windows started to get unresponsive randomly when using a new bluetooth speaker I got for Christmas. Every time it happens, the programs start...

I'll present first the issue, then the back story and some of my findings. The issue is that I recently upgraded to Windows 10, for many reasons I wanted a fresh start with my PC and wanted to factory reset it. To do this I used the software which came with Windows 10. The problem being, the...

Hello, I have been having regular crashes as of late (every day once or twice usually). They were always freezes, my computer would become unresponsive and there would be no blue screen and no dump files generated, so it was very hard to debug. Today it actually produced a blue screen with...

Has anyone else noticed that our mouse has become severely unresponsive in Windows 10 RTM since sometime between November, 2015 until now ?? It's beyond annoying that it takes 4+ right or left click's to get a response from the mouse in Windows 10. Worst yet is Microsoft seems to only be...

I have a problem with my computer locking up with the keyboard and mouse unresponsive and a horrible sound coming from the speakers (I think). This has happened 5 times since I upgraded to a SSD. The first two times it happened the computer was really hot. Fan Speed showed that it was in the...

I'm having a huge problem with my laptop. Yesterday while playing a video file, Windows Media Player became unresponsive for a good 10-15 minutes. When it came to and I was able to click the close program option. It closed and everything seemed fine. I then decided to restart the system but it...
