Why does Windows always become so slow...

Why does Windows always become so slow? Now from the moment I turn on the computer for the next 10 minutes after I log in (sometimes even longer than that), the hard drive will constantly stay at 100% and everything is slow as crux. After logging in (which in itself takes almost as long as the bootup process to reach the desktop), the fan will start to whir up even if I don't press a single key for the next 10 minutes. It's at the point where I'm better off going to the kitchen to brew a cup or three of tea. Programs now take ages to load.

Is it even possible to make this Windows install faster or will I have to reinstall?

GNU/Linux doesnt have this problem

Brother, I've been asking this very same question for 15 fucking years. I'm mostly using Linux now, but it was the very first thing I noticed after installing it. I'd be afraid to use an ssd with windows these days.

get a ssd poorfag. its 2017

Works on my machine

You wish.

I installed Xubuntu yesterday and found out that:

-It overheats my PC far more than Windows 10(and that's considering that it is a lightweight distro)
-Boot time is slower
-Wi-Fi constantly disconnects after a couple of hours, whereas Windows 10 does not
-GPU performance is noticable inferior
-A large chunk of drivers do not work at all

Didn't even last a day on this shit. Linux is a hobbyist OS.

>what is SSD

Wouldn't it be cool if it popped up an ad while spinning your hard drive.

1. You use HDD
2. Most likely faulty
3. The ease of software installation on Windows makes it a magnet for computer illiterate people who install literally everything that pops up on their screen. Such treatment makes Windows slower over time.

I had Win 7 installation from 2009 which I was using until last year and it was running just as fine as on day 1. Learn to use computers, or you will end up like Windows is like a car, if you take care of it, it will serve you well.

I reinstall it every few months and this problem goes away.

Not even a clean install, go into Updateandsecurity>Recovery>Resetthispc>Keep my files.

Literally solves it, takes an hour, shut the fuck up and do it.

>Linux is a hobbyist OS.

You spent a fucking day on it, learn to use it before you shitpost.

This is normal behavior. Windows is simply hashing or indexing all of your files so they can send the hashes to Microsoft, for your safety of course.

Enjoy using Windows 10 op.

linux is a hobbyist OS lol

nobody serious uses it unless you have lots more free time. antergOS is easy as shit anyone can install it but configuring other bullshit is a waste of time + some programs dont run on windows

just a terrible waste of time for neckbeards

Funny how people think it all began with Win 10, whereas Microsoft was accused of spying on users since Win XP.
>j-just use Win 7. It doesn't spy on you!
Fuck off. ISP, Microsoft, Google, TV, your fridge, CCTV on the street, everything spys on you. Deal with it. Installing linux from binary image won't do any difference. Your UEFI is most likely bugged as well anyway.

>same windows 8.1 install on computer I bought 2 years and 2 months ago
>still as fast as when I bought it
must suck being retarded

Best part is that these people that can't maintain Windows for longer than 3 months claim to be now full-time desktop linux users

Good, goy... good. Don't try. Don't think. Consume.

>Five thousand four hundred rotations per minute hard disk drive

Disable Superfetch in services.msc

disable volume shadow copies service
uninstall antivirus (anti virus software installs a file system driver, your pc can't access anything the antivirus doesnt allow. it's a system driver, you wont see it on device manager unless you unhide system drivers. if you want speed, you uninstall antivirus or disable all real time scan functionality and scan everything manually)
disable indexing on anything other than start menu
install the latest ahci sata controller driver
switch to ahci mode if your sata controller is in ide mode
defrag your hdd
disable link state power managment on power plan advanced settings

>all dis shit

Feels good to be GNU/Linux master-race.

windows 10 kills drives

>List of 7 things to fix Windows computer
Heh, glad I use Linux
>Looks up 2 page documentation to see how to install the latest driver, make sure to get the right compile flags to make it run correctly, still detects less VRAM than is available.
That was so easy, now I can begin looking up how to configure every other program I want to run

>assumes it not a windows problem

I've seen this happen on different computers, different HDs, even on fresh installs. It has nothing to do with someone's skill level with computers.

linux isnt even installed on laptops by default because of how horrible it is

nobody serious uses shitnix loll

because the filing system is primitive

>linux isnt even installed on laptops by default because of how horrible it is

>t. someone too stupid to use linux

I don't have this problem on windows 7.

t. linux doesitforfree shill

Anyone who''s not familiar with this behavior has been running Window for no more than a couple of years

dell developer series laptops have the option to come with either ubuntu or windows

They have to configure their system after install just to make text content display properly.
They have to install an extension just to get thumbnail support in their file manager, much less their file picker.

When I started studying cs I felt the same
After a month with it I didn't want to use windows anymore
Now, after 8 years, I cry whenever I need to touch my parents' windows, cannot even SIGKILL a process in that shit, it's windows that decide what's happening, not me

So get used to *nix systems and don't be a faggot

>100% disk usage
>low read/write speed
>can't use anything else, although the disk is barely used
That's poor I/O scheduling. Install proper motherboard drivers. Are you on AMD by any chance?

>t. really triggered 12 year old gAYmUR

Pic related actually you.

What is TASKKILL

windows 8.1 user here

I can disable indexing and other various services that works on background

I can also disable windows updates and download and install updates only when I want

My installation is more than 3 years old with hundreds of installed stuff.

Works like a charm and exactly same like fresh installed OS (i tested several times and then reverted to clonezilla backup)

It has way too much shit loaded into RAM and you have way too many startup and useless services running.

Run msconfig and services to fix that shit.

Finally defrag your ancient aztec technology data storage device.

It's funny you post that image, because that machine looks to be running Linux.

I had a similar experience. I tried using Linux 10 years ago and I wanted to gouge my god damn eyes out in frustration. I gave it another chance 2 years ago. Formated my HD and installed Ubuntu MATE and never looked back. Now my family tries to ask me questions about their windows 10 problems. I won't touch it.

It actually ran BSD.

This also can apply to Apple systems

ironically this rarely happens in OS X (i prefer the old name. The new one sucks)

And people wonder why we're so hostile to apple users.

This started happening to me when I went Windows 8.1 before. Windows 10 still does the same thing but its strange cause it only lasts for 2-3 minutes after start up.

Windows 7 does not seem to have this problem oddly enough on the same HDD and partition.
