Applications Take Extremely Long To Close - Cannot Be Force Quit
Jan 20, 2016
I recently updated some drivers on my Acer Aspire 5750g:
-Nvidia GeForce GT 520m
-Broadcom SD card reader
-Dolby Digital audio driver
This was 3 days ago now and I've been having issues closing applications since. Full screen games in particular tend to fill my desktop with a black box equal to the games resolution, I can't click anything behind the box and it is above ANY windows I'm running. Usually the windows will take upwards of 10 minutes to close, however it can be longer.
Games can't be closed with task manager even as escalated user from any tabs, error returned is "Permission Denied".
I've uninstalled the Broadcom SD card reader driver since as apparently it's prone to memory leaks, my SD card reader had never worked before driver installation anyway.
The issue tends to happen after the computer has been on for a while. It gets worse as a process called "System and compressed memory" starts taking up more ram. I've attempted to stop "System and compressed memory" from doing so by disabling fast-boot as another forum post suggested, however it made no/minimal difference.

I had finished updating the Windows Store app on my laptop, usually after the update, store immediately closed itself, and wait for about 5 minutes, and finished ...
But why, I now want to reopen it always force close? Only up splash screen, without error code, and force close
There is a solution other than in reset?

Noticed that Microsoft Edge being extremely slow in opening applications or loading web pages or is it just me? Sometimes it takes ten to thirty seconds to open webpages with the dreaded spinning circle. It would be a while before I could clean install due to lack of funds but I wonder if it's my 25/25 internet or just edge being the culprit?

I'm using Win 10 Home and all windows 10 apps like store, xbox app, photos etc everything forecloses.
Have already tried both the methods as mentioned by you a couple of times - but no luck.
Method 1 wsreset.exe returns the following error:
ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches.
Have also tried sfc /scannow error - finding corrupt files but can't repair...
Have also tried DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth error 0x800f0906.

Shutdown computer last night, turned it on this morning and the 'app' quite working. Got one of those messages from windows – “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.” Rebooted computer twice – no go.
O.K. then. Uninstalled and reinstalled, no luck. Tried to download Weather Channel app – no go – clicking on download link and nothing happened. O.K. Tried to download Accuweather app – same result – clicking on “link” and nothing happened. Tried different sources, Cnet etc.
Dell computer, windows 10 – no other issues. Computer works fine otherwise. I like to have the “temperature” on my task bar as I go walking everyday and its a nice guide.

My Facebook app has quit working. It will open and then close. I've uninstalled/reinstalled but that didn't work. It just started doing this today. I'm using a Surface Pro 2 running Windows 10.

Driver update gone bad caused my start button to stop working. I have tried sfc /scannow but it didn't find any issues. I don't want to do a system restore because the last time I did, that caused more problems! (edge vanished).

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but saw no other options for my specific problem. My laptop was reviving and so looked in task manager to fins this Windows Image Acquisition Service using the CPU. Went into services and changed it to manual.
Engine still revving, Shut down pc and turned back on.......engine begins revving again.......
Task manager says "no processes running?
Turned internet off.... no difference...still revving?

I started to upgrade all my drivers since I downloaded windows 10. Everything was going along fine until I hit the driver on my mouse. Gone the mouse disappeared. There was no way to get it back. So I finally hooked up another mouse and tried to go back and roll back the driver to the other version. The roll back box won't lite up and it has to be lite to be able to roll back.

I am having a pretty consistent problem with file explorer in Windows 10 of late. I am running the latest release 86.17, Windows 10 64bit. Nutshell, when I create a folder, or rename a folder in Explorer, that change does not reflect on the screen. I have to exit the folder, and reopen it to see the change. If I reboot, the problem goes away for a bit, but then it comes back. It's pretty strange. I wonder if other folks are seeing the same thing after one of the latest updates.

I've had a series of problems with Windows 10. Latest (last couple of weeks) Thunderbird and all browers have been gradually getting worse and worse. I decided to restore the system this morning but I get stopped every time by a screen where I am to select a keyboard to use. This is where both the mouse and keyboard don't work.

Upon start up my computer is extremely slow and I get this message "cannot connect to Windows service". I can't open any of my documents or connect to google chrome. If I let it sit for about 10 minutes I can access google chrome and my files. I have taken the computer into the local computer fix it shop and they said there were a couple of broken registry paths, no malware and everything ran fine for them. The first couple of time I used the computer after getting it back home it worked great but now I'm back to square one. This is extremely frustrating.

I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My web browsing is extremely slow, I somehow feel that this started before the upgrade and may not be related to the upgrade. I have to refresh some pages as many as 10 times before the page will load and overall web browsing is extremely slow.

For some reason iexplore.exe consumes extremely high cpu resources. Only IE and only cpu. I have done a myriad of scans:
Roguekiller
TDSSKiller
ESET
Malwarebytes
Bitdefender
and none indicate a Trojan or rootkit. I have also deactivated most extensions and followed dozens of articles on the net. I know I am supposed to use Edge, but it lacks features that I want and has other limitations that make it cumbersome. Likewise Chrome and other browsers react differently for many of the sites I use.

With Windows 10 showing up on more computers every day, I decided to take the leap and upgrade my operating system. I figured that I would need to know it in order to service my client's computers - however, doing so has provided me with a problem that I have been unable to solve.
I have seen many posts and "solutions" for laptops that have suddenly been running far hotter since upgrading to Win 10.
My situation is a little different, I am running a Dell Studio XPS 435T with the Core i7 920 with 12GB RAM, and HD5700 on the stock motherboard. The CPU is cooled by an aftermarket fan and heatsink (Arctic Freezer I believe). And yes, it is clear of dust bunnies.
When booting into Win 7 Ultimate my idle temp is 43C and at load gets to 65C however if I boot into Win 10 Pro my idle is 67C and at load easily jumps to 90C+.
I have also tried the "change CPU power" however dropping my CPU to 60% doesn't seem like a real solution to me..

I have windows 10 installed on a ssd drive and my boot time is around 2 minutes. I've tried everything that I could find online, such as: disable startup programs, enable fast boot etc. . I had some corrupt image files, but I repaired them using DISM and now 'sfc /scannow' is not returning any errors.
I want to mention that I did a clean install of windows 10(I did not upgrade it, I removed what I had before completely).
I had windows 7 which was booting really fast.
My system model is z97x-gaming 3 and I have 16GB RAM.

My Windows 10 laptop, which previously had Windows 7 (I upgraded through Windows Update) is now having problems with the file explorer.It all started last night, when I was listening to some music with the windows media player, then it froze, a windows popped up asking me if I wanted to end the process and I said yes. From there, it all went downhill. My File Explorer is now EXTREMELY slow, I open a folder and it takes 1 or 2 minute for a new window to even open. Then it takes like 2 more minutes for the new window to even show things. When it does load i can't even scroll up or down or open another subfolder because it freezes and shows "Not responding" at least 3 time before even doing something.
At first I thought it was a performance Issue, but Steam, Task Manager and even games work perfectly fine. Maybe it's worth to mention that my task manager sometimes displays as if my disk was being completely 100% used, but then it goes back to 98%, then back to 100% again, and after a while it calms down and displays the actual percentage. My HDD is more than half free.
Also, when I first installed Windows 10 I had a BSOD Issue. Managed to solve my issue through dump files provided by the W7F Diagnostic Tool. I am trying to back up my most important files to my external hard disk right now in case I have to reset/format my PC, but since the File Explorer is extremely slow, the estimated copy time is more than a day.
Google Chrome won't open and using the Windows 10 search tool at the bottom left makes File Explorer crash sometimes.

I have 6 user profiles on my Windows 10: One is 72.1GB in size, another is 39.0GB in size, one has a ? mark, one is 58.2GB and one is 11.4GB. The smallest one is the Default Profile at 2.12MB. Why my user profiles so enormous?

So up until this morning my Windows 10 desktop has been performing really well. When the machine is idle the CPU use is only in the 1-3% range.
For some reason my idle CPU use is now CONSTANTLY 30-40% (even after a reboot)! Task manager says its "Service Host: Local System (15)". If I expand this process in task manager it lists:
Why is this happening all of a sudden? I have all Windows Updates installed and I run an i7-3770 CPU.
My machine is now slow/sluggish with 30-40% being hogged by these services!
I don't have any Malware installed as I run Malwarebytes Premium and the scan comes back clean. Some goes for a full anti virus scan.

So I just took part in the Windows 10 Insider Preview a couple of days ago, and I have to say, Windows 10 is a great step up from Windows 8, they did an excellent job so far. There's just one problem: File Explorer is extremely hard to use. Not only does the file explorer freeze all the time (even on folders with almost nothing in them), when it does freeze, it goes back to the top of the folder when it unfreezes.
What I mean is that I can be half-way down a 260-count file folder, like this:
Then it will freeze, and after it unfreezes, it goes back to the top of the folder, like so:
Doing simple tasks such as moving, copying, renaming, deleting and even scrolling and clicking causes File Explorer to freeze, sometimes even when it's idle!
And what's weirder is that the glitch doesn't happen when your opening a file for a specific program (say you click 'open' in Word and you get the 'Open' dialog box where you can pick a file).
I posted this over to Windows Feedback too, but I don't think it supports user comments, so I'm posting here to see if there's any fix. If there's any fix for this, let me know. It's been annoying me for a while now.

I'm currently on a PC with a 250GB SSD (Samsung EVO850 M.2). Recently my PC suddenly was out of storage and I wondered why, since I though I still had at least half of the storage free.
So I decided to run WinDirStat to figure out which directories were taking up all the space. As you can see in the screenshot it shows completely different values for the used space by the C drive. For your info, I only have a C drive, no second disk or second partition.

I have had windows 10 for about a month now and have had no problems. Today some updates were installed and straight after that my browsing speed became pretty much unusable. I have 160mbps download speed and have no problem browsing on other devices.
I cant watch a simple youtube video or download anything and am a bit lost.
