Help: W10 running extremely slow and/or freezing for 30sec-1min.
Hi. I really need help with W10. I have no idea what's causing it to run so slow. I have Bitdefender antivirus. And Zone Alarm firewall. No viruses were found. Everything comes up clean.
Windows constantly freezes. Like when I click something, it will freeze for about 30 seconds. For example, I'll be reading something or watching something. No problem.
As soon as I click anything. Such as to close a window. Or to open something. Or anything. It freezes for like 30 seconds or more. I have to wait for it to respond. And everything works fine for a bit. Until it happens again. And it keeps happening.
If I'm on a Skype call, it will freeze, and drop the call. If I'm playing a game such as Starcract, as long as I'm in a match, anything I do within the game is fine. Nothing freezes. As soon as the game ends or I click to exit the game or I just click something outside of the game in Windows, I get the 30 sec freeze.
SOLVED
The solution: I updated my nVidia driver to the latest version. Everything went back to normal, and started working perfect. No more freezing whatsoever.
