Hey there! I've noticed something odd with my PC too. I'm using Windows 10 with all the latest updates. When I power it on, the system feels quite sluggish. Every action takes longer—like when I press the Start menu, it can take a full second for Windows to load. Tasks such as rendering or using Photoshop are noticeably slower than before. This doesn't happen often; it usually occurs after the PC has been off for a while, like 12 hours or more. I think the problem might have started after the recent Windows update. Anyone else had similar issues?
Never encountered this before. A slow start once the system is off might stem from multiple factors, yet it persists even after booting again. This is unsettling. It prompts me to check if other processes are consuming significant hardware resources. It appears to be something distinct from what you’re currently doing, as it seems to exceed typical processor usage.
No, I checked and there is nothing heavy there. Both CPU and GPU idling. Like I said, doing a restart completely eliminates the problem. So, it feels like Win10 randomly loads kind of 'badly' or not loads all the things it need. Most likely it all started with a recent windows update. So, I hope the next update will solve the problem.
However, performing a restart clears everything. It seems we’re intentionally making progress and things are unfolding naturally. The verification wouldn’t mean a restart; it would involve checking Hwinfo while the issue remains active. Still, it wouldn’t be conclusive on its own, though it could identify many potential causes if present. It’s possible the real problem isn’t here after all, and other explanations might be more likely.
