You can end what ever task is using memory
Tried that. I run a really clean, streamlined computer. Learned years ago how to shut all the extra BS down so I could just run my trading program.
It’s not that. Most times there’s nothing running but what I’m using. Has baffled me.
But thanks!
I installed W10 in an eight year old Dell Laptop. I had some random BSOD. I updated the BIOS to the latest available and most of the BSOD problems were resolved.
I run MalwareBytes Pro on a daily basis. You might have a virus or malware grabbing your system. Just a thought.
Thanks but running Malwarebytes too. lol
See? baffled.
You might need to reinstall Win 10. Or a fresh Install.
The boot up problem may be related to the Microsoft online account thing or lack thereof.
I know that when I changed over from 7 to 10 my login password changed from one on the computer itself to the Microsoft account one.
I don’t use this computer much anymore anyway so haven’t spent a lot of time on the problem. If it gets to bothering me too much I may do that. Thx!
Good luck.
It might be something frustrating like Windows tries to validate your license every time the computer boots and if you don’t have network access, etc. This is unlikely but a good conspiracy theory. I don’t trust Microsoft and Windows 10.
If it is still under warranty, you might ask the tech support.
I bought a win10 surface 3. The camera app wouldn’t work and I had to do a system reinstall, which was no big deal. Also I’ve had to reset IE11, because YouTube suddenly quit working. And forget using my fingers so scroll. Use the stylus. Other than that it’s settling down. I did buy the extended warrantee and drop/spill/tech support. Also I upgraded my 2009 Toshiba without a hitch over a fresh win7 install.
I HATE IT because I cannot access the Windows 10 machine's shared printers from an Ubuntu machine without a login on the Windows 10 machine.
I have searched everywhere for a solution. Even when you set "don't use passwords" on Windows 10, it still does.
I have done from scratch installs and upgrades and neither have been fun — do you have this drive and that and then search the Internet if something doesn't work. Then there is general stability — newer OSs tend to be buggy.
“Windows peaked with version 7.”
Indeed.
Everything looks the same as 8.1. There were a few problems with my router but otherwise, seems to be working ok.
Exactly. And why put yourself through if you don’t have to.
