  Well, every time I trie to install something that uses the installer of windows, like windows update, my any becomes very slow and the freezs for 5 seconds as soon as my mouse over the windows start button.

• Should have 8 000 emails in my Inbox Windows Mail (Vista) considerably slow down my computer with 3 GB of RAM and trigger alerts from Norton of "the High CPU use by Windows Mail.

  In addition, about half of my 8,000 e-mails are unread. Thus, the fact of having 4 000 unread emails in my mailbox Windows (Vista) slow down my computer more than if they were 4 000 read emails?

  If so, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?      .. .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

  Even if these unread e-mails degrade the speed, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?... .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

  I also regularly get an alert Norton of 'Use of disc high by Microsoft Windows Search Indexer.'  Gravity is the next, and what can I do to fix the problem?

  Finally, I have a lot of folders: would have 2,000 emails in the Inbox Windows (Vista) slow down a computer more than if 2 000 mails were one or more files?   This change of response if the e-mail is unread vs bed?

  #2: the Inbox is accessible by your computer whenever he asks new messages. The fact of having 1,000 messages in the Inbox slow it down? I have no personal experience, since I never have more than a dozen or messages in my Inbox, but it is so likely. If you have lots of free space on the hard disk, the messages would be better in another folder (s). Even if you create more WinMail's local folders and move messages to them.

  I would also say this. Try to compact and repair the database.

• Windows updates significantly slows down my computer

  Whenever my computer is a windows update that it slow down my computer, I need to run a virus scan that helps a little but it still runs slowly takes about 5 to 10 minutes to restart.

  If your antivirus software is nothing else than the windows Defender - you might want to experiment & uninstall it.

  Visit the support site anti virus and find their methods of uninstalling...  Many antivirus programs really need a separate download program to uninstall them successfully.   When you see that windows Defender is working properly, it's a good indication that you probably have a successful uninstallation.

  Maybe... then your computer might speed up you decide to reinstall the anti-virus program or not.

• Micorsoft windows search filter host uses 3g of ram and slows down the computer to a crawl.

  search filter host started running after the updates and it slowed my laptop to a crawl.   Why is it turning?  And that fact?

  Running Vista on the HP hdx laptop.  RAM 4g dual-core

  It is probably rebuild the search Index (maybe called something in one of the updates for this action) - Although it could do other things as well (it's hard to tell).  You can do this finish faster in general by reducing the number of file types or sites included in the Index (Start/Control / Panel / Indexing Options / Advanced)- but the file types and locations are not included in basic research (it's a compromise).  Some people say that excluding files .xml help (especially if you have a big disco).

  If this does not solve the problem (or you're stuck with it running and it will not be closed) Download Process Explorer http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/3000-2094_4-10223605.html and see which fits all the CPU usage - it should provide more information than Manager and helps focus in spots on the problem.

  The problem may be with the updates (or one of the updates).  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (before installing updates without doubt).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates (but be careful, because if the issue is resolved, then one of these probably caused updates and you do not want to recreate the problem).

  For more information on the updates (which seems to be the source of your problem since it was started after them installed), repost in the Windows Update Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads where the people who specialize in updating issues will be more than happy to help you with this problem.  Try to provide them with the names of the updates and their number KB (as well as all that you have done to try to solve the problem).

  I hope this helps.

• Games slow down a computer?

  I played Command and Conquer 4 on my computer very old. It can be played, but the graphics are bad and it is very slow. If I continue to play the computer may crash. So I had planned to play on my new computer. But my parents do not allow that. Reasons are

  1. Games can have viruses.
  2. Viruses can hack into my computer and get information, such as bank accounts. (I installed Bitdefender 2010 IPSec)
  3. Games make my computer unreliable and slow.

  Can you check for me if these reasons are true. I know too many games running at the same TIME will be a slow computer. But what happens if my requirements meet the minimum requirements for the games, it slows down the computer? Also, I defrag and cleaning my PC regularly so do not understand that my computer will do to appear slowly over a short period of time (1 year).

  Hello TechKid.  Feel free to forward this message to your parents *.

  (1) their original CD-ROM or DVD-ROM games will not have the virus.  Back in the olden days where game was on a disk that it was possible that a set of second hand could have been infected, simply because the disks could be written after the fact.  Actually I've ever met.

  (2) a bit, (but still once falsely assume original games of detail will virus), in practice, they are much more wet than that.  Decent anti-malware and ensuring your machine and all the software connected to the internet is updated will solve this problem.

  (3) not true.  While the game is running, they are obviously fewer resources for other things.  But once the game has been closed it will not use all of the system resources.  In regard to making them unreliable, more wrong.

  * It won't do anything, they don't want to play you games on this machine, they will come with any excuse for this purpose.

  Anyway on this system, I think that you should always keep the graphics on their low settings, the graphics card is a budget card, not suitable for games.

• Creative cloud slows down my computer

  Hello

  Screen Grab 1: Time, I woke up my Mac (09: 28:52)

  

  Screen Grab 2: Image of Sync still running an hour and ten minutes after that my computer has woken up!

  When my MAC wakes first, and CC tries to run, it slows down the right of the computer. Trying to run what is slow, but launch anything that connects to the internet (browser/email) gets badly done!

  I checked my activity monitor...

  

  Screen Grab 3: Shows the use of the processor (in percentage) where my computer was first wakes up.

  Screen Grab 4: Shows the CPU usage after Firefox and Mail ended launch and the core of the CPU usage is a CC Adobe software.

  Screen Grab 5: Indicates consumption of energy by my computer, new CC is upstairs.

  Screen Grab 6: Is my settings. At the speed of transfer of 100%, I have no chance of any other connection to the internet at startup. 75%-100% during the working day it slows down my computer if I am trying to update the browser, while he was working on a Web site, and CC is something synchronization attempt. I have a 50MB connection.

  I have been informed that sync is sometimes a bit weird if the computer has been stopped during a synchronization. I usually check the blue transfer the arrows are not in the top bar, meaning CC is not synchronized. I also use a HP laptop and it is all too slow there when he wakes up first of all, although not too bad, only about 10 minutes waiting.

  It seems to be a major problem with CC to get IT done by someone to turn off their computer. In order to always try to connect and run more than an hour after the computer has been awakened is ridiculous! It has not always connected (11:09)!

  I just can't use it any more and switch to Dropbox, turning off Sync and just using CC for updating applications. It has the potential to be a great and useful application, but fell short with his excessive CPU and energy consumption. The fact that if you turn it off during a synchronization, he throws his toys out of the pram is bad. People will often have to do, for example work on a train and the connection is lost during synchronization, or they need to close the lid of your laptop to get off the train quickly.

  It took until 11:20 to connect and synchronize, almost 2 hours after my computer started!

  Another issue is he says: 'some files impossible to sync' on the MAC, but the same files on the PC CC are fine? What is everything?

  

  "All the files" on the left are the PC this morning. "Some cannot synchronize files" is the MAC this morning, exactly the same files. The files are the "_notes" that produces your product, Dreamweaver. BUT, as you can see from the screenshot below, some "_notes" folders are marked green and some red exclamation points! Why? How the names of file folders to be OK and NOT OK? Fortunately this is an old site, I should remove from CC, I no longer guard _notes' because of this problem.

  Specifications (although I had different MACS with higher specifications and it still happens):

  Mac Mini (late 2014)

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

  2.6 GHz Intel Core i5

  8 GB memory

  Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card

  1 TB Sata Drive (852 GB free space)

  HP Pavilion 17G015NA laptop

  10 64-bit Windows Home

  Intel Core i5

  2.2 GHz

  8 GB memory

  1 TB of disk (816 GB of free space)

  I had a major problem the other day. CC finally synchronized, so I thought and has started working on a site and transferred my files, with the new Foundation 6 scripts. Not realizing he had not really synchronized and the files I'm downloading came from the day before and not the previous night - when I was working on them on my laptop. I had to start my laptop, trying to stop him immediately synchronization, so that I can download the latest files form the previous night, then upload them to my local folder on my Mac. It is unfortunately the only way I know for sure that I have the latest files on each computer. Download them from the server I can't trust what has been synchronized by CC. It surely beats the purpose of the CC, in what it is supposed to allow users to access the same files on each machine. I can't wait for nearly two hours for CC to sync my MAC with what I worked the day before on the HP. It slows down my computer and makes it unusable for about 15-20 minutes.

  Please let me know when you sort Adobe.

  See you soon

• Wuauclt.exe slow down my computer

  Whenever the Windows Update automatic update Client runs, it significantly slows down my computer.  For this reason, I put automatic updates updated Fridays @ 03:00, so that I'm not on my computer and it should not cause me any hassle during the working day.  However, this is not the case.  It's a Tuesday afternoon and I have wuauclt.exe now works and has downloaded the updates and continues to ask me to install the updates.  It is difficult to run the programs I need for running the job with that.  I've closed several times by the Task Manager: processes tab and it will not be closed.

  How to stop popping up and running ONLY at 03:00 on Friday?

  Sorry for not responding earlier but I never received a notification of any more responses about this until today .

  My preference would be to make manual updates on the site, so I won't warn me, warn me or come at all.

  As Mike has already said, if your on a domain network, you must ask the Admin on how the system is updated.
  If it isn't and you are the person who updates it, then you have to turn off the automatic updates service and set THE " disable automatic updates. I want to update my computer manually. "

  When you are ready to update, and this includes to restart the system so that files that are used can be replaced, and then start the automatic updates service before either visiting web sites Windows or Microsoft Update.
  Security updates are issued the second Tuesday of each month; No updates for Windows security are issued the 4th Tuesday of each month.

  However, this will prevent the installation of any out of band, critical security updates unless you watch ( the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), search for the Microsoft TechNet security bulletins or the pages of Description of Software Update Services and Windows Server Update Services changes in content for 2010 .

  There is also the possibility that SAV is originally the CPU problem through its oversight to this place:
  WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore

  You suggest or the Sys Admin read this MSKB and configure Service according to its recommendations to see if the problem is resolved:

  You do not remove the "old" Windows updates.

  If you do, you lose the performance and the improvements in security that they give and you put your computer at risk of breaking or be infected by malware...
