April update general performance

I have the latest update and notice that loading times on any browser have slowed to a crawl even Edge.Anyone else have this problem ?

You run a electromechanical drive for your main os partition? HDDs are a nightmare to get consistent response times on where random r/w are happening all the time, especially between and after a major feature update. Does your performance have any relation to the disk drive? Or does it look more like it's slow because of a connection issue?

If by the latest you mean 1803 17134.1, then I have not experienced that problem.

Yes I do mean 1803 and the performance has gone slow since the update not related to hdd's or pcor isp download speeds all those are perfecly ok .

Mine is at least as fast as it was prior to the update. Nothing regarding performance is slower.

Did you update or did you clean install? I always do a clean install for the big feature updates and have never (knock on wood) had any performance issues.... Might be a good idea to try that, I bet it clears up your problems...

Did have the same issue on the arrival of FF59 on 1803. Was loosing up to 90% of bandwidth and/or FF was slow as donkey. That's been a few builds ago.

Switch to Nightly for that reason and stick to it. Didn't have boot problems, but the Ethernet controller driver was outdated. See if it is up-to-date?

Realtek: 10.25.119.2018

"My laptop used to boot in 2 mins, now it takes 5 mins, that is more than noticeable difference."
That's bad, my Laptop with just a standard HDD Switch on Start in about 50 seconds with 1803 after about a week of use, it used to be about 30 seconds, and before that about 20 Seconds with Windows 8.1 3-4 years ago. Never done a clean install.

I suspect it's slower because of the Timeline feature, but I know almost nothing about the internal workings of Windows.

Checked the 3D graphics performance and it is identical back through at least 3 of these version updates even back to Windows 8.1.
The Intel and Nvidia graphics drivers are over a year old.

Gamers of course blame MS for Nvidias latest and/or beta drivers they use. There is a blatantly obvious answer but they don't like it, and continue to mess around.
