Slow Connection Interface
Slow Connection Interface
Windows hasn't dropped another update that improves performance, and your interface feels slow. Things like dragging or opening windows take longer than usual. It might be a problem with your system or the Windows version itself.
I just observed chrome behaving oddly when switching monitors. It seems to freeze or lag during the transition. There hasn't been any update from Microsoft since December 16, 2017. I’m curious if Google released a fix for chrome recently.
Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) runs flawlessly on all my machines. My gaming PC has been using it for some time without needing a reinstall, and my MacBook Pro just got a fresh Boot Camp install of the latest ISO. Both systems are current. You might want to try reinstalling video drivers, as Windows 10 can sometimes install its own drivers aggressively. It also occasionally launches the "Windows Modules Installer Worker," ".NET Framework Optimization," or "Antimalware Service Executable" after major updates, which can temporarily slow things down for a few hours. To speed things up, open the Control Panel, navigate to Security and Maintenance (formerly Action Center), and click "Start Maintenance" under Maintenance. This process may take a few hours. Afterward, restart your computer. Updates can also appear in the Microsoft Store; sometimes dozens of updates happen simultaneously—check for updates and install them all. Verify your display resolution and refresh rate settings, ensuring they aren’t stuck at a low frame rate like 50Hz (something I experienced after a driver update).
