just in case, you should do a full data backup to an external storage first.

after that, do a refresh, not reset. be careful and choose to keep your personal files in the process.

:/

next time you should move your save locations away from os partition. press win+i then choose system > storage to configure.



afaik there are some 'workarounds' (disabling by service is the most straight forward one; some others work on w10 pro edition only), but there is no official feature that can do this.

if system restore is enabled i guess you can do that. press win+x, choose system > advanced system settings > system protection.

good luck :/

Uh? Exactly which one? I have installed all updates none of them cause issues here. (The oldest machine that i have is like 4 years old)

You can try determine which software is causing heavy disk activities via task manager (use ctrl+shift+esc to call it out). Disable them if possible.

You can also try to disable as many system services as possible based on blackviper's list (blackviper.com). Test and check each service one at a time to make sure they don't give bad system effects to your computer. Also, use system optimizations in wise registry cleaner to apply some optimizations.

For w10, you should also check all sections in settings, and disable whatever that can potentially take up system resources, for instance, background activities by a list of apps. Some said disabling windows updates service can help, but i never disable it. I also run tools like shutup10 and dws to get rid of everything that i know i will never run.

If all the above didn't work, back things up and do a clean install, then reapply system optimizations. If it still doesn't work, use ssd as os drive (hdd as data drive) and start over. This last part was what i did for new laptops with mainstream cpu, 16gb of ram, running os on hdd. To me they were still slow after a clean install and system optimizations. I rather spend some money now to get ssd than sufferring forever.

For those who think, 'who dont know ssd can help? I just need to know what can be done for hdd-based systems', the truth is, you cannot do much. (The outcomes are of course depending on individual expectation. In my case it doesn't help much) For today's optimal user computing, imo you can save a lot of time and you can do alot more just by switching to ssd as os drive. (Even cheap value / entry level ssds can help because of its abundant iops)

Try this?

Swapping hdd with ssd is ok, you dont need to do anything. It's when you change mobo that you need reactivation. If it's retail key, call ms for help. If it's oem key, changing mobo invalidates the key, so you need to get a new one.

Yes you can clone the os to new ssd.

Did the fix work for you?

K good luck hopefully it solve your issue.

thanks, as always!

oh best of luck :/ my system and compressed memory is like 0% at all times (maybe it's because this computer has 32gb ram)

if it's good enough for you just don't bother about it. nowadays imo for optimal user experience (hence better productivity): 8gb is good for common use; 16gb for games; 32gb for work mostly (running few vms concurrently).

hm maybe the differences are not about hardware entirely, but software that were installed.

for laptop ram it's about myr75 i think (ddr3 1600mhz). desktop ram should be cheaper.

yes, hopefully.

haha it's fine as long as everything is good for you.

btw ddr4 is getting cheaper these days. previously i got my ddr4 8gb stick like at myr 250+. now a ddr4 16gb stick is at similar price. i'm gonna push it to 128gb later

It's for work not for fun :/ if I don't load vm's and ramdisk my ram is an excess.

i think the free space requirement is subjected to your existing installation in os drive (os+apps). if the free space is enough to house those, that means something in windows updates has gone bad. if that's the case, you can try http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...-troubleshooter

you can also download w10 iso with media creation tool, make a bootable usb stick with it, and run setup.exe in the usb stick to upgrade. again this is subject to available free space. try use disk cleanup to free up more space.

maybe you can go into bios and change gpu option to igpu and boot from there.

edit: as for the slow boot, i have no idea. maybe it's related to your gpu issue?

oh good luck

thanks for the news. looks like there are something to see in near future builds with less bugs

not sure. why not just do an upgrade to get the digital entitlement then revert if you want?
