View 1 RepliesI'm currently on a 1TB HDD (roughly 700GB used) and recently picked up a 120GB SSD for the OS and whatever game I am playing at the time. I've gotten mixed messages regarding the most efficient method to do this. I'm just thinking of creating an usb installer of Windows 10 and just installing it straight to the SSD and then deleting the windows files from the HDD.
Is there a simple way to move my windows install to the SSD? I can't clone my HDD since it is much larger then my SSD and I don't have enough storage to move enough data off of the HDD to get that down under 120GB.
Is there a table that tells me (translates for me) how to do in Windows 10 what I used to be able to do in Windows 7?
For example, how do I make my Windows 10 jump lists have as many entries for 'recent' or for 'frequent' as I used to have for Windows 7? (My jump list for Word had the 10 most recent files -- now in Windows 10 it only shows about 3)
Or, how to set the amount of time before inactivity on the computer causes it to lock?
I keep on getting this bug where it won't let me click on some tasks running on the taskbar, I am currently using Windows 10, is there any fixes? Am i the only one getting this issue?
View 1 RepliesI just got a Win 10 computer, and I am in the process of starting to prep it for moving all my old files over from my XP computer (using PCmover).
One of the things PCmover told me to do was go into Win 10's Task Scheduler and disable the tasks under the Active Tasks tab, which I did.
But now I can't find those disabled tasks to enable them after I complete the PC-to-PC file move. They've disappeared completely.
I just want to create a list of tasks. in Windows 8 or 10
View 2 RepliesI've just clean installed Windows 10 with some app. The TaskSchedule shows many hidden tasks. Is this service harmful to my desktop: BackgroundUploadTask
View 4 RepliesBeen noticing a number of errors when I open task scheduler for e.g. SVC Restart Task - The task XML contains a value that is incorrectly formatted or out of range" Other than the aforementioned task there are errors with the following:
a) Schedule Scan
b) Reboot
c) Policy Install
d) Queue Reporting
e) sih
f) Scheduled Start
g) Automatic App Update
I am a member of the WIndows Insider programme, and these errors have persisted across different builds including the latest one 10240. These were reported to MS thru the Feedback app.
I downloaded the official ISO today and upon doing a clean install noticed the errors.
Application Log entries read as follows:
Error 16385 "Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2115-07-05T14:11:34Z. Error Code: 0x80041318"
This happens every 30 seconds or so for about 3 minutes. And starts again every time I launch an MS Office program.
I have tried the old trusted method of deleting the relevant registry entries and importing the task XML to no avail.
I have an ASUS Desktop PC M11AD Series computer with an Intel core i5. I am running windows 10 Home on my computer and ever since I got Windows 10, It has been randomly restarting. It will restart while doing simple tasks, like using Google Chrome, or using Skype. I have tried to monitor what apps cause the restarts, but it is extremely random. I upgraded my computer 2-3 weeks ago, and it is starting to get on my nerves. I have switched my browser to Microsoft Edge and it has been working fine.
When this occurs, my computer will freeze for about 5-10 seconds, and then it will to a regular restart. Sometimes when it boots back up it says "Windows is updating" and sometimes nothing. I have disabled auto updates on my computer and I just can't seem to find the problem. Sometimes it will freeze in chunks like 3 seconds, it works for 1 second and then 4 seconds and then restarts. My friend also has Windows 10, but his doesn't restart. I can't find out what build I'm on, and I upgraded when Windows said I could upgrade.
Other than going through each and every task in the task scheduler, is there a way to see those that are allowed to wake the machine while it is sleeping? My PC woke up this morning at 3:30 am. It then went back to sleep about ten minutes later. I've checked all of the normal things (no auto-maintenance, etc.) so I' suspecting it is a task that woke the PC up.
View 2 RepliesAfter upgrade to windows 10, tasks still run but don't appear in task scheduler so I can't edit them. Where are they kept? More importantly, how to I get them to show up where I can edit them?
When opening Task Scheduler I get at least 50 boxes I have to close before I can exit the program (or use task manager to do so.)
Isn't the page file supposed to fill up when your system starts running out of RAM? I know there's some preemptive paging, but I'm at 99% even though my RAM usage is 40% (of 8GBs). How come?
View 1 Repliesi have recently installed win10 and after a few days i have noticed that it uses all my memory(8gb) in the following scenario:
i let the computer overnight watching a stream and an online radio station.the next morning i have noticed that the computer was a little bit laggy, ind i opened task manager where it showed 97% memory usage.The funny fact is if i added up alll the provcesses memory usage und it was about 1.2 gb ram
PC specs:
i7 - 4770k proc
gtx 970 video
8 gb hyperX red memory
I've calculated that my apps use arround 538MB(1%) ram i have 6GB ram and the task manager is showing almost constantly that around 35% is used. What windows processes can i stop to reduce the ram usage - these are pics from the task manager. URL...
View 1 RepliesFor some reason whenever I open Task manager it says that 100% of my Disk is used, this can be even if all the processes add up to like 2mb or if avast! is running and using 50mb. It will say 100% Disk Usage either way.I sent my HDD back to DinoPC.com a few months ago and they said nothing was wrong with it.

When I was running Windows 8.1, I had this same problem. Upgraded to Windows 10, issue persisted, until I reset the PC (August). After I reset, CPU usage was normal. A few weeks ago, though, CPU usage has jumped right back up to 100% (per Task Manager). I've tried running malware/virus scans, updated SSD firmware, looking for resource-hogging processes, and none of it has been conclusive.
View 8 RepliesI am running Windows 10 Pro. Over the last couple of days, for some reason, the OS reports 100% disk usage, even when no application is apparently running. It was quite alright a few days ago, but troublesome over the past 2 days. I had assumed it was running some background task, and would become normal, but the abnormally high disk usage persists even after the machine has been running for half an hour.
In this period, no Windows updates were installed, and only a scheduled checkpoint was created 4 days ago. If I try and restore to the checkpoint during boot, I get an error, saying the PC needs to be repaired. If I try it from the recovery option in Windows 10, it does not shut down for a restart, just keeps on the blank screen saying "Initializing restore". The entire time, according to the indication light, the disk seems busy.
I tried disabling superfetch and background intelligent transfer service, but did not work. The spike in disk usage is not specific to anything, sometimes it is the system, other times the malware service...
I do not wish to reset the laptop, as I had quite a few things installed, but I do not have the installation media for those anymore, and so would not be able to install them again after the reset.I have the installation iso for Windows 10. The laptop is Dell 17R SE 7720. I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro almost 2 months ago, and it had been running fine.
This is not an issue but more a curiosity. I have the old Windows cup / ram monitor running as a gadget on Windows 10. When the PC is idle for a few minutes I notice the cup usage always spikes to around 10-13% and stays around that mark. As soon as I touch mouse and move it it then plummets to 0 or 1%. Is this normal? I wonder what it could be doing. It's not as if I can use task manager to see because as soon as I move the mouse or go to use the PC the usage returns to 0 or 1? I presume Windows is doing housekeeping stuff and it's a non issue?
View 4 RepliesI recently started having issues after my brother downloaded some malware on my pc now i get 100% hdd use on 0.1 mb evey time the gpu load is at above 60% or 70%. I have attached my dumps. All the BSODs were in CS:GO and now i cant eaven play any games without the game just stopping because of the hdd usage.
DATURS-PC-Fri_10_09_2015_130802_35.zip
I found out the reason for my hdd stopping while under load was that one of my 6 pins was a 2molex to 6pin adapter and one of the molex cables was also the one powering my hdd through a sata power cable.So i plugged in a different one and now it's fine.
not sure since when and how ( must have been recently ), but my windows 10 got probably infected, whenever i start pc, my cpu usage jumps to 55% ... After I open task manager, i can see this ( attachment ) :
The PID of "faulty" service is always different and if I stop the process, i am ok until next reboot. Windows defender detected nothing after full scan, I have never downloaded any exe files or opened some bad web page, only .mp4, .avi files and games from Steam.
Should I format and reinstall windows, just to be sure or is there some other tool to find out what happens / fix my problem ? I have no important data or work on my pc, so format is ok, I just dont want to spend several hours reinstalling everything...
I was wondering if there is a list for Windows 10 of services that are not needed for a normal user (internet, word, video games).
View 2 RepliesMy laptop's CPU usage hit 100% and stayed there, and the fan came on even though the CPU and HD temps were normal (CPU 44-47C, HD: 39-42C). Any thoughts on what happened? Restarting seems to have fixed it, at least temporarily. I'm doing a virus scan, and I'm going to start going through the logs, but which of the vast number of logs I should start with.
NOD32 and MalwareBytes both say no threats, malware, etc.
the fact that in the Task manager Disk usage leaps up to 100%, and stays there for minutes with nothing in the column showing above 0.1MB/s. I have visited many forums and tried many fixes but have not cured the problem. The machine is am HP G62 laptop with an i3 processor and 3GB of RAM, which should cope, shouldn't it? Currently CPU 1%, memory 42%, Disk 100% - trying to install a program.
View 10 RepliesI've had this problem since installing W10. My RAM's usage keeps increasing overtime and after a few days it gets to over 90%. It effects my computers performance, even typing something is incredibly slow, which means it isn't just a visual issue. I've searched my computer for malware and bitcoin miners and haven't found anything. The only solution that works (although temporarily) is restarting my computer.
