New computer, very slow.
I just got a computer as a gift. It was bought outside a person so I don't know that anything, except that it's a windows 8. We have done a factory reset to get its stuff on it and only put Netflix on it. It was slow at first. Took the time to load anything. I did some troubleshooting and it didn't come back with something. Help?
Discover difficulty a slow, slow PC to get some tips. The slowness is usually because that substantive updates are always busy, and you can resolve it by leaving all night at the end of all these substantive things.
PS. don't forget, you open the Store app and get the 8.1 update, it fixes hundreds of problems that will save you a lot of headaches later.

DVD burner in the new laptop VERY SLOW - PLDS DVD +-RW OF THE - 8A5HH
I just got a new laptop from Best Buy - Dell Inspiron 3521. There a PLDS DVD +-RW OF THE - 8A5HH drive built in. I tried to burn a data CD, but it failed several times.
I tried these in the file Explorer and CyberMedia Power2Go Burns, also at the Maximum speed or 24 X. It was using both Philips 52 X speed CDR burning failed at the end, when the burner is trying to close the disc. He couldn't complete a burn speed X 10 (very slow) to Power2Go. File Explorer strangled between 7 X and 10 x to be able to burn and did not show a dialog box saying if the burn is complete or not. He left me guessing.
It was after a call to Dell technical support and a trip on the Microsoft Support Site to use their CD - RW test online. He said he updated something, but I don't know what.
I must say it's a disappointment. I think I should have bought a laptop without a burner inside and bought an external burner. At least that way I had have the choice of what I got. This burner is slooowly.
Anyone have any idea if this can be fixed, or is it just a limitation of the burner is in this laptop? If it is material, well I guess you get what you pay for.
Dell phone support fixed it. Went to the Microsoft Support website and ran a convenience store of material for DVD players, who suggested the update of the firmware of the player. He did that, and then we went back and burned a disc in the file Explorer and it worked, but only to 10 X I opened Power2Go and burned a disc at 24 X, and it burned successfully. I didn't actually measure the speed (Power2Go shows you that), but it worked well and quickly. I think that the problem was an outdated firmware for the DVD/CD burner. Flashing to the latest firmware fixed the problem.
I want, I knew that this troubleshooting tool on the Microsoft support site, but now I can not find.

Re: Satellite C660 new but very slow
Hello
As indicated in my username, I am not very good with these things. I bought the c660 a month ago and I can't believe the slow, it is, it takes forever to open a document and the Internet absolutely takes forever to open the same homepage.
I tried to disable add ons and I have only stored excel sheet and about 20 photos on the computer of his car, so I don't understand why it is like that, to be honest, it was like this from day one!
Please can someone tell me what I can do to fix the problem?

'My computer' very slow to recognize all readers
When I click on "My Computer" I expect a few seconds a screen readers various associated to my computer, local and network. For some reason, my computer is to take 2 minutes to create this screen.

The process APPNOS and APPTS are devouring my RAM and make my computer very slow.
Hello, I have an iMac (late 2012) 2.7 Ghz intel core i5 with 8 GB of RAM. Lately, my computer has been extremely slow and almost unusable for the last 4 days. After repeatedly to close the market and stop, I finally could open the activity monitor after about 25 minutes of loading. I was shocked to see that the process APPNOS and APPTS consumed 13 GB of RAM each, with a total of 27 GB of RAM used even if my computer has only 8 GB of RAM. I left the two processes of strength and my computer still worked once, normal, but these processes continue to pour every time my computer sleeps. I hope that someone knows what these processes are and how they arise or eat more RAM that I stop.
For what it's worth, update macOS Sierra from El Capitan did nothing.
Thank you

W7 Ent. SP1 x 64 clean install on the new PC - very slow to load after reboot during installation
Hi all
I'm busy to install W7 Ent. SP1 x 64 on two computers for a small organization non-profit of my friends, all the similar Assembly (motherboard: ASRock H81M-VG4, CPU: Intel Celeron G1840, transcend SSD). The first PC went perfectly, no problems with the installation at all. Now, I installed the second, but unfortunately the following happens:
After restarting the installation, was asked to enter the name of the computer normally, and then to set up a password. When I clicked on next (and leaving the word password empty) the whole process seems to freeze a little, and then after a few minutes, I could choose settings updates, after which everything slowed even further. "Finalizing settings" took about three quarters of an hour. Once this done, all slowed even more, and it now displays a black screen telling me that this is not a genuine copy of Windows (had no chance to fill in the key product of course) and after about half an hour he is now "configuration of settings customized for xxxx".
-EDIT - Windows has begin once (between my opening message and my second post), and it was terribly slow in everything that (like several minutes before opening anything). I installed the LAN driver with the idea of updating all the drivers, but after a reboot it is so late it now already taken 10 minutes to boot Windows (and is suspended in the Welcome screen again).
I've done an another clean install after using DISKPART to format the SSD, but the same thing is happening again once unfortunately. I installed on a USB bootable, I used to install two other computers as well (one before this one and the other afterwards), and everything is fine with those. Swapping the RAM module for a good known has not changed the situation.
All comments are welcomed, appreciated, thanks.
All other essential drivers have been installed: video, Chipset?
Try the SSD at the other system and see how it starts in the system causes problems.
Also try the SSD with the painful installation in this computer to see if the problem persists.
Could contribute to isolate if the SSD.

installed the new windows Friday and since my computer is very slow and not connecting to the internet correctly... anyone else having these issues?
System Restore to go back before the show.
I suggest you to install the updates one by one and reboot the computer after installing each update to verify that update is causing the problem.
Also note the updates that you install on the computer.
Once you come to know what update is causing the problem, let us know.
Do not install any driver updates offered by Windows Update. Find them in the manufacturer's website instead.
Try a convenience store
Windows includes two programs of troubleshooting that you can use to automatically fix some common problems with performance on your computer or to the maintenance of your system.

My macbook pro mid-2012 is very slow. Do I need a new battery?
Hello world
Support on this community has helped me tremendously before so I thought I'd post again about a new problem.
I upgraded my Mac with an SSD, which works very well, with more RAM; However, recently, it has been very slow and train, and I don't know why. RAM is not being crazy, so it must be something else.
After reading the other posts, I'm thinking maybe I need a new battery? I mean I have 893 cycles ahah. Could someone help with this?

my new laptop is very slow. I get a message "high utilization of the processor by windows media sharing", even if the windows media does not run.
Hello
1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?
2. what version of Windows are you using?
I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.
Method 1: SFC scan run on the computer to ensure that the system files are intact:
How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 2:
a. go to the Media Player.
b. in the menu-> file-> manage libraries-> select each library (music, video, photos, TV recorded (if you have)
c. check the paths that he manages and make sure it is not too near the root of the C: drive. For example, it should be something like c:\users\Jim\Music and c:\users\Public\Music BUT NOT c:\users because they will cause the whole directory to re tree - index over and over (when you surf the web, or change files in your profile).
