I work for the Navy. NMCI upgraded to 10. One fourth of the computers in my code CRASHED during the upgrade. I was lucky.

But for some reason, EVERY DAY at 1300 my computer slows down to tortoise speed for about half an hour.

If you run the Win 10 equivalent of the Win 7 Resource Monitor, what resources does it show being used?

I suspect MSFT may be accessing your computer at that time for updates, bug fixes, etc.

Sounds like a scheduled task. In the course of exploring my company-issue Win-10 machine I discovered that, even though my laptop is equipped with a SSD (solid State Drive), it was running defrag. Defrag is useful for conventional drives but shortens the life of SSD’s.

I brought this to the attention of one of the sysadmins but he just shrugged it off. We’re already seeing premature HDD failures. But not on my machine.

“I told you so...” ;’}
