    How do you use your system? When first updated Windows has always had a largish List of tasks to "sort out" the new system, more on a fresh install but even an updates, (Indexing etc).

    If you are someone that switches on the system, does the work you need to, and then shutdown, then the organisation can take a while and does tend to do a lot when first switched on ( just my experience and no idea why It does it immediately after start-up)

    If you leave the system switched on for several hours, or in the case of a data rich system several days, The system should not be in use, as the tasks are set to only run when the system is idle, once this initial load is complete the system should settle down

    Mostly internet stuff and a bit of gaming. Ah, thank you. Yeah, just like you said I switch it on, do stuff on it and later on when I have enough of it, I turn it off again. But is it better then to put it in standby?

    Booting time is nothing wrong with it, 20 seconds or so till appearance of the desktop.

    It will go in standby (or sleep) by itself. What Barman was suggesting 8think so), is to leave it on for a day or two. There are a lot of indexing (documents, music, pictures etc. to do) and possible updates. After a day or two, it should go to normal behavior. If not, report again.

    Over the years, (I've built and set-up more systems than I care to remember), I have got into the habit of leaving any new system, ( fresh install or major update), that has previous data accessible from it, on overnight, (all auto shutdown,/ power saving disabled), to let the data organising to take place, after the initial update than you can switch the Power/screen saving systems back on, and it should be ok to go, obviously if you do a major change to data storage (install a HDD from another system that is full of data), you would be best served to leave the system on overnight again)

    I rarely switch off my personal systems, they use very little power when idle so I simply switch off the monitor if I am not using them, I often remote into systems at home so they may not get their monitor switched on that often

    so overall it's something no to worry about ( because I am right now...)?

    I would not worry about it unless it continues long term, ( not a good answer I know), All I can say is that I have seen this on many occasions in the past and it does solve itself.

    If you wish to check in more detail - open the Task Manager click on the Disk Usage Column header ( so the highest disk usage is shown at the top of the column), then you should be able to see if any specific process is using the disk excessively. Look for an entry that contains "Index" in the title I think it's "Windows Indexer service " but not sure if it's that accessing the disk then I would think that it will calm down over time as stated. If you see any other process then make a note and let us know and we can proceed from there.

    There are better Free Task management programs available which will allow better control of rogue apps but are not needed until there is a proven issue

    Hi,
    You can check to see if you're set to send basic data to MS

    But yes large upgrades will make a system quite busy for a while.
