• Windows 7 running slow at startup to the top

  I had problems with Win 7 Starter & slugglishly running in general in recent weeks. I did a clean installation a few months ago & everything was OK but now I notice a lag in just about everything, even small things such as opening a new tab in IE seem to cause a delay that did not previously exist.

  IM compares to my machine Win7 I use at work that runs a lot faster (C2D 2.8 ghz, 2 GB ram) which is in contrast to my home pc which is a quad core with 2 GB & a lot less open applications (I'm at work now with MANY open apps & still run faster than my PC with no apps open all the House!)

  Time opening IE8 reboot & loading the homepage is apprx 3.5 minutes (slower even than my old Vista laptop). Ive done all the cleaning I can use C Cleaner, emptied the trash, removed rarely used applications etc.. Everything which is still connected is my printer, the KB & mouse, also ran MSConfig & make all the necessary changes so that he can run faster, but none of this has made ALL the difference - outside to do a fresh install of W7 I don't know what I can do.

  Also tried starting in Firefox or Chrome instead of IE8 but its still just as slow (is also used with compensation history of IE8, cookies, etc.). Even things like Win explore & Control Panel are slow at any time, as is the search engine that is supposed to be indexed but still chuggs along for more than a few seconds (once again my work PC is very fast in this regard with a lot more files potentially be examined). Office 2010 also takes about 20-30 seconds to open Word or Excel, once again my work PC starts immediately...

  Another aspect of stress that has never caused problems in the past, my main drive (160 GB) is partitioned into 2 sections (50 / 50 split apprx)-many spare parts on the 'C' drive and even again on the data section. I also have a secondary internal HDD 320 for data only, both drives are 7200 RPM - is there something here that is causing a problem with Win7 that never affected XP?

  HARD drives are all defragged using Diskeeper in game & forget mode - all showing healthy

  Can someone suggest a remedy for my sick PC?

  Hello

  Norton is known to cause slow downs and other issues. Uninstall and then running
  the Norton Removal Tool to stop the remains (even those will interrupt the strange) to load.
  Use the recommendations below when testing, even better would be permanently.

  =================================

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Computer with Windows XP running slow and what is Svchost.exe?

  Original titile: my Acer One ZG 5 is apparently very slow a file called scvhost.exe (I think) eats memory. What can I do?

  My Acer One ZG 5 is apparently very slow a file called scvhost.exe (I think) eats memory. What can I do?

  What is useful or even possible to upgrade to windows 7?

  Hello

  Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

  There may be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe can host a single service for a program, and another instance can host several services related to Windows. You can use Manager tasks to display services running under each instance of svchost.exe.

  To view the services that are running under svchost.exe:

  (a) open the Manager the tasks by right-clicking on the taskbar and then click Task Manager.
  (b) click on process tab.
  (c) If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  (d) Hovering mouse on one of the processes will show you a list of all the services.

  You mentioned that your computer is running slowly. Follow the troubleshooting method specified in the link here.

• Windows 7 running slow will be upgraded to windows 10 clear of problems

  I am running windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but it raised a number of questions and is slow.

  The standard way to solve this would be to do a clean reinstall.  If I want to upgrade to Windows professional 10 this will have the same effect, or I have to re - install Windows 7 first before the upgrade.

  Also, on my second computer I am also running P 7 Professional but the 32 bit version.  Can I download the Windows Professional 64-bit for this machine 10 and doing a full install instead of upgrade Windows 7 32-bit to 32-bit Windows 10.

• Windows 8 running slow as hell!

  I'm really tired of Windows 8, I bought a new PC to work about 6 months with the following specifications:

  Processor: AMD E1 - 2500 APU with 1.40 Ghz Radeon HD graphics card
  RAM: 6.00 GB
  HARD drive: 1 TB
  Running: Windows 8.1 (x 64)

  I've used only 44 Gb of HARD disk space and have only 7 installed programs, they are as follows:

  AutoCAD 2014
  Canon printer utility
  CCleaner
  Dropbox
  Google Chrome
  Vuze
  ESET Smart Security

  
  Now run Google Chrome slows down my PC to a stand still sometimes and makes AutoCAD running. I know that this program uses a lot of memory, but this is why I made sure I got enough RAM to cover. I even cut down on most of the Visual styles in order to speed things up. I have no virus and everything is clean and it is still slow.

  Now, I also have a Macbook Air with lower form of RAM and HARD disk space and it works like a dream, why can't Microsoft provides this level of simplicity and service? is - that so much to ask?
  I don't use all the 'apps' or something like that while can't be slow me down. Any help to speed up my performance would be greatly appreciated.

• Why is-Windows Media Player slow at startup?

  When I run WMP window opens immediately, but it takes nearly 12 minutes to complete commissioning.  During most of this time, the CPU usage is 0%.  All applications starts almost instantly and WMP works fine, once it finally started upward.  The program itself is stored on a conventional disc SSD, while the music files on a hard drive and they total 871 mb.  My system is a processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Why do you think it takes so long to start?

  Hi SimonRichards,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

  Method 1.

  I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

  Here's how:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Method 3.

  I also suggest you to re-record the files related to Windows Media Player.

  To do this, follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the prompt type regsvr32 wmp.dll command and then press ENTER.

  Type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then press enter

  Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll, and then press enter

  c. restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

  You can also try to turn on or to turn off Media Player.

• Window 7 running slow except when the mouse moves

  I installed Windows 7 on a Dell Optiplex 960, 3 GHz Dual core. It has an ATI Radeon video card and I have installed the latest driver for it.

  Problem: the video is very slow, except when I move the mouse. Also, the clock does not keep time. Windows make it very slowly.

  Stay very far away from what you call a 'PC Booster'. This kind of
  program more often causes or aggravates the problems, rather than fixing
  them.
   
  There are several possibilities for what are the causes of poor performance, but
  the first thing to check that you are not infected with malware.
  What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run (they are far away
  to be good too) and if they are updated?
