Tweaking did nothing, I went as far as main repair. S**T. It takes me forever to download an ISO file. I have satellite and BW limits. The last time I did this I got up at 2am when the speeds were at...

I did change the DNS to Quad9 in W10 yesterday.
I 'reset windows update' ran troubleshooter and got errors:

Check for Windows Update issues Detected Detected

Detects issues related to...

Yeah, I saw the dns change thing I didn't try that. That one site is also suggested deleting the SoftwareDistribution Folder. I guess I'll have to try those things. report back later.

Defender is all I'm using and it seems to work fine. I do have MwBites on the computer, but it's the free version.
V 1909.

My updates have not been working since3/22/20 Every time I try to update I get this message:

We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still...

I just answer the call, don't say anything and let it go until they have to hang up, which eventually rings to tell me I'm off hook, then I hang up. It wastes their time and line time and I just put...

Don't think so. I've used different keyboards with this thing and it's all the same, as I also said, it did the same thing with my w7 computer, completely different system.

I have pinned a link to a 'My Documents' folder on my E drive under Quick Access (file explorer). It's a WD 1TB SATA 3.5" that I use to store all my data/pics/etc. I took this disk out of my old W7...

I have an Asus Xonar SE PCIe and I'm using the outputs from that card, not the internal RealTec which is pretty much a piece of junk. I just don't remember if it was a 2nd party app or not, I just...

What you show above is just the output levels. When I go into 'Sounds', I get tabs with recording, playback, etc and makes it easy to adjust levels from there. The app has it's own settings but does...

Program is WSJT-X. It produces audio for a transmitter (and also decodes audio from the receiver) so I have to have the speaker level set at 25 and the recording level set at 25 or else then I have...

Seems to me that in the past, maybe XP, I could either lock the playback/recording settings or perhaps it was a 2nd party program that set them to predefined levels. I haven't seen anything for w10...

I just changed the name that shows up when I start up. It didn't change the name under c:/users. I'd like to do that but not sure it's worth the hassle. I'll see how it goes. Not really interested in...

Thanks.

I got this new W10 computer and the guy that set it up for me put in 'owner' as the default name, it's what shows up when booting. If I change the name to something that I would rather have, does it...

Actually things are getting better. The CPU is running at 1-2% at idle. Things are going fast like when I got it, but after reinstalling the OS. I got up one night at 2am and rebuilt the thing, but...

w10 is like most stuff that we buy today. There are no instructions, no specs, support at cost and then they want to collect data from you to sell. I certainly didn't expect to be buying another...

New HP Pavillion gaming computer. Fast until all of a sudden the cpu is running at 30% at idle. Things slow to a crawl, long story short, reinstall W10 overnight because satellite data limits. Back...

I used 2 monitors with my w7 computer that had 2 dvi outputs fine. One is a basic asus 24" and the other a toshiba laptop with a second party dvi driver board. This video card has a hdmi, dvi and...

Almost went to bed but thought I'd check on it before, and voila it's all there. No muss, no fuss. CPU is banging off 1% at idle. Yeah, image. need to do that. But first reprofile my TB and FF. Then...

Since I woke up about 1:45, I just started messing around and I reverted to a previous build, keeping my data. That works pretty good and now things are working fine. It went to build 1809 and that...

SSD. Yes, I have been thinking about uninstalling MWB. The sfc/scannow found errors and fixed them. That took a while.

Deleting MWB did nothing. The corrections from the...

I'll try the HP restore first. At this point I don't even mind if it wipes any new data/apps. There's nothing on it I can't replace. I might loose a few emails. But I haven't got time tonight, I'll...

I went through the clean boot startup again, this time really carefully and that does nothing, it's the same. I did a safe mode boot and it works fine there. CPU is down in the 1% range.

What does...

This HP 690-0073w was fast when I got it. Now it won't even keep up with my typing. The taskbar thinks about coming up all the time. Firefox takes about 10 seconds to come up. Tried clean boot per...
