Slow Performance in Surface Pro 4 - Core i5 8GB
Sup guys! I'm resorting to this forum, because I know the caliber of people that roam around here.
I have a Surface Pro 4 - i5 w/ 8GB of RAM, and it's been painfully slow to do basic tasks. Excel, Web Browsing , Opening the Task Manager takes a lot; mouse lag; and maybe some coding with Visual Studio. I have a laptop with an i7 4700MQ and my laptop feels way snappier.
I thought that I wouldn't need the two extra cores since I was doing some basic work, but I don't know if I'm right...
So, this is what I've done:
- Checked Startup items. Almost bare bones. No Java Updater, only Dropbox, f.lux, Windows Defender.
- Ran sfc /scannow and chkdsk - No problems found.
- Scanned for viruses (Malwarebytes). Everything clean.
- CPU temp is great at 56°C.
- CPU, Disk and RAM usage do not top 100% when experiencing these issues.
- I've refreshed and Clean Install (From USB Drive), and I'm still experiencing issues.
Is there a way for me to track the usage and see which programs may be causing some sort of distortion? Even though it's an ultrabook i5 it should be way more than enough for the type of tasks that I'm doing (I think)
Any suggestions or ideas?
