Win 10 PC is lagging

Is fast startup on?

Fast startup can be enabled in the BIOS ( etc ), and might be a mode within Windows to use as well. Point being it makes startup
looks faster, Sometimes you have to turn it off depending on what machine your using, or if the information it loads from might be problematic. This might affect the boot speed ................... Personally I keep it off.

What is your computers entire specs?
Processor
RAM type and amount
Hard-drive / SSD
GPU

....................................................

Checkout "ShutupWindows10" and use the latest, to flick off as many things you can understand. Like maybe you want Windows update off for instance. Windows is constantly talking and sending and receiving data-back, If too many things are on while this is occurring can slow your performance. Same reason why Windows sucks ( in marketing ) because of all the bs that is on that does not need to be on.

Is your video driver working?

How much ram do you have ( because based on amount Windows 10 will automatically take 4-6Gigs for itself. However in lower
amounts Windows 10 will take up less then 1Gigs.

This is a problem I am having. My Searchapp keeps taking up memory and appears to be indexing. IDK maybe when I touch base with Microsoft. IDK. But many guides have suggest removing search, but I want to turn it off. I can do this with a .bat file but again
I should not have to. I still want search but again as with

MusicUI
Microsoft Photos
Keylogger
Lockapp ????

etc these things should not be on all the time, but again I could be wrong

Swap out Maleware Bytes for Avast. Honestly I feel Maleware Bytes is out-dated in comparison to Avast, but again your choice.
Just buy Avast if not then ????

Stop using those browsers ( Edge and Opera ). Use Basilisk with Classic No-Scripts ( or Yes Scripts ) add on. Edge and others takes up a lot of memory when using, and needs to be configured. I stop using Opera when I found out it is a mainland Asia Company?? China??? Yeah so I would stop using Opera in the current world unless you really need to.

Google Earth is it's own program/app/portable and unless you need to log in, I highly suggest finding an install of Google Earth and just using the official install of Google Earth. Why would you need to use any Web browser for Google Earth???

Checkout

Ram-Map, ( windows 8 and vista program ??? ).... That being said I forget but there is a built in Ram program that is better then
Taskmanager.

Process Hacker 2 - As good as you will ever get

System internals - Now remember this has been brought by Microsoft but you can find is stand alone or a store-app ( which I do not prefer ). If anything make sure to get the install or portable.

My notepad is lagging when typing text reminiscent of old XP days..
My browsers are lagging as if on old time dial up speed.
Re-starting doesn't fix things.
I have Malwarebytes Premium which cant see anything wrong.

Any tweaking suggestions?

Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎5/‎29/‎2021
OS build 19045.4291
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0

It's been three days now. An awful lot here to read through. OP maybe starting to get overwhelmed. Here's my two cents worth.

If your computer hasn't been factory reset since the above install date of 5/29/2021, it might be a good idea to do a factory reset. The entire process takes about an hour. And when you finish the PC should run like new.

If the PC is still slow after the reset, then we can troubleshoot from there. The difference is we'll be starting with a clean operating system.

The choice is yours how you'd like to proceed from here. Just giving you another option to consider.

Factory reset might be the go.

Back in the days of XP used to be able to revert back to an earlier date rather than all the way back to day zero.
Was that a part of windows or a 3rd party program?

Suggest you start your own thread. Depends how much free total space you have including virtual memory of course.

Tried that - no response. For some reason W10 isn't managing my virtual memory.

Is this not that information?

Hello,

You can still use 'System Restore' option in Windows 10, if it's already turned on.

There are tutorials here on how to use System Restore.

You seem to have set it manually. It's also rather large. And the rest of my post??

+ how much free space do you have on C: ?

It says system managed size - Windows is managing the page file size automatically (as recommended by many web searches - "Windows knows what it's doing"). How much free space - 60GB+ as given in the screengrab. 16GB isn't large, that's twice the installed memory. That's all the information corresponding to the screengrabs in your post, apart from the graph. Have I modified services - I've disabled a few un needed ones such as Skype, Teams, Onedrive and Spotify. Other than that, no

In fact it says "recommended virtual memory 1.8GB". Since a web search will bring up recommended virtual memory initial size of at least 1.5x installed memory (1.5x 8GB is 12GB), I'm not sure where 1.8GB on a system with 8GB comes from
