And the problem is definitely Win10 related. That is the main variable that has changed since this started happening.
The laptop is a W510. I will post detailed specs soon. Any other preliminary steps you have, do tell.
We use a lot of Think Pad's with i7's at my office, with Windows 10, and I haven't heard complaints from teammates that performance is lacking in any way.
Thank you pparks1.
What we probably will find in your Thinkpads is that there's something different different about yours at work when compared to my slow one at home.
If we could identify exactly what those differences are, we may be able to tweak the slow machine in order to improve its performance.
That might be so. However, we don't have any information whatsoever on your model, specs, and exact quantification of the problem.
What is slow and how slow is it? Does it take 4 minutes to boot to Windows, does it take 17 minutes to shut off.
Are you really running Windows 10 enterprise LTSB?
