I have 8GB of RAM, and even with just Chrome and Discord open I'm somehow using up 87% of my RAM, another major issue I have is system and compressed memory, I've noticed that it tends to build up the longer the PC is on for to the point where it's using at least 300MB and my RAM claims to be at 99% capacity and then my computer just starts lagging like crazy and any game will have fps of roughly 5 when I'd normally get well over 60 (I know this isn't the place for gaming but it's the easiest example for me to think of ), Task Manager recognizes that there is 8GB of RAM so there shouldn't be any issue with the sticks themselves.
Is this normal and something I should just accept whilst having 8GB or is something not right?
I have noticed since upgrading to Windows 10 I am unable to Log into my work network which uses Server 2008. It keeps giving me the following error. I have added it to the compatibility mode settings but still get the same error. This is the following error I am getting " The wizard cannot configure Remote Desktop Connection settings. Make sure that the client version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.0 or later is installed on this computer"...
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.
When trying to scroll down through a folder, Windows 10 resets to display the top of the folder every few seconds - highly irritating and time-wasting.
I built a computer about 4 days ago and am having constant problems with bsod with all different errors in each one. I don't have any technical information for them, as when I try to download and install things it gives me a bsod. I have gotten the following error messages
I first put on a pirated version of windows 8.1 Pro. But once i realized it can't get updates I installed a genuine copy of windows 10 that i bought from my local IT shop. I have factory reset the pc twice and it still receives the bsod. I also noticed that when i factory reset both hard drives, it still creates windows.old folders, which should have been deleted.
The windows 10 is installed on a ssd (Samsung 850 EVO 120Gb) and is accompanied by an empty 1 TB Seagate Barracuda (Don't know technical specification).
I have crashed from playing games, running a disk cleanup, when it is restarting from the windows memory diagnostics tool and just watching youtube.

Since I bought my new laptop several months ago, it has been waking itself up out of sleep mode. If I leave it in sleep mode overnight, I can be sure that by morning it will be awake. If I'm in uni and I need to slip it back in its sleeve on sleep mode - a couple hours later I will later find the sleeve hot and the laptop awake.
I have tried things such as looking up in cmd propt things that have authority to wake the pc up, but it states that nothing does. I have disabled options on my anti-virus for background tasks. I am just not sure where to go from here as no success so far.
I'm having an issue, ever since I installed Windows 10(upgraded, then did a clean install), I've been having issues with Excel. I have Office 2013 and everytime I open an excel document, then close it when I'm done, it freezes. Only happens on excel though, Outlook and Word work fine(only other 2 programs I use). I've done the quick repair and the Online slower repair, along with uninstalling and reinstalling Office. None of these have worked. Is this some kind of bug with Windows 10 or is it just me?
Post W10 Installation - my computer constantly wakes up from sleep. It just will not stay asleep no matter what, I thought it was my mouse so I went into my device manager and changed it so it didn't have the ability to wake up my computer. It stopped for a little while at least that's what it seemed, must have been coincidence because now its happening again. Which is weird because I went into power settings and turned "Wake Timers" off completely, it's now switched to disabled. Yet whenever I runcmd and type "powercfg -waketimers" as it reccomended here [URL] .... to find out which timers are on.
It says something about volume 2 on one of my hdd's, some stuff that doesn't make much sense to me. If you need me to paste the cmd info you're going to have to tell me how. Also when i type "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed" it lists "HID Keyboard Device" and "HID Keyboard Device (001)." Maybe the latter is what's waking my computer? I figured that was just another name for my keyboard or something, all I want is my computer to stay asleep and only my corsair keyboard to be able to wake it up.
Also everytime it wakes up I type "powercfg -lastwake" into the cmd and it doesn't give me any info. It says "wake history count -1" and the other 2 stats are 0, followed by no text or information. Also I forgot to mention but when it wakes up as of now, the display will actually stay off but the computers lights and everything are on. Whereas before when I thought it was the mouse waking it up, the whole computer would turn back on, display and all.
My time is always out of sync, it makes it increasingly difficult to follow conversations on Skype, for instance. I try to manually update the time and it tells me fairly often that there's an error when trying to update. It doesn't matter if my PC is powered off or if I'm using it, the time is bound to get out of sync, so I doubt it has anything to do w/ the CMOS battery. Should I be using a different time server other than time.windows.com? I'm also using Webroot SecureAnywhere Anti-virus. Not sure if that's causing a conflict or not.
I'm on Windows 10 RTM... I'm not connected to a domain, just a regular Windows Home network...
I am having a problem with file explorer constantly crashing. If I click on the icon in the toolbar, file explorer will open, it will say "working on it," but then it crashes, the screen flashes, and it goes back to the desktop.
If I try to open a folder on the desktop, it does the same thing.
I have done numerous google searches in trying to fix this.One that I did find talked about using the Windows debugging tool, but it was so complicated I couldn't figure out what they were saying.
I have deleted and uninstalled multiple programs that I no longer use, hoping that one of them was what was causing the conflict. I also unchecked a few things in startup as well.
I can't even browse my computer's desktop or hard drives. I have to go to the command prompt to do anything. I grew up on DOS so I can navigate around.
I have a Dell Inspiron N5110 that I just upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday. It's been working mostly without a hitch, but I've run into the dreaded "constant refresh" problem with the desktop and toolbar. It happens maybe every minute or so. I can use the computer just fine for the most part, but when I'm gaming, the refresh will cause the game to minimize and return me to the desktop, which is extremely annoying. I haven't tried to turn the internet off yet to see if the problem persists, but I'm sure it wouldn't.

I don't have much knowledge about computer at all so I don't know what to do. Ever since I got my PC a year ago it have always been crashing randomly and very constantly with various different error code. (Since I lost the receipt I was unable to return it)
So after I learn about blue screen viewer I was able to get a list of recent crash. which I attach above. I try to google the error code but I dont really understand what I needed to do.
since installing windows 10, initially fine now recently my hard drive runs constantly even when idle, it slows everything down and is becoming a real pain especially going online! When it is doing this there seems no obvious reason, i.e. it is not downloading updates, running defrag or disc check.
I've just installed windows 10 on my laptop. Initially a box on the left hand side telling me about cortana kept popping up so I switched cortanat off. Now the box just keeps popping up constantly, asking me to start typing to search the web or for apps etc.
I'm not 100% sure yet but it seems to be connected to scrolling down but also seems to be popping up quite randomly. In the last half hour it has popped up at various intervals from as little as 10-20 seconds to as 'long' as 2-3 minutes. There is no 'close' box and I can't see how to get rid of this really annoying feature.
I've noticed this since installing RTM 10240. With previous Insider Builds this didn't happened. I've cleaned installed twice now and the problem persists. I notice also a "Windows Spotlight Background Taskhost" process relentlessly coming and going and taking resources together with Runtime Broker. Nothing seems to fix this and many other users are experimenting the same. This makes the computer hotter as the CPU gets no throttling rest.
I'm having a problem where the system is constantly at 100%. Sometimes it goes down, but it keeps going back up to 100%. This is build 10162.How to stop this from occurring? Generally, the service MsMpEng.exe or ntoskrnl.exe which is System are at the top of the list.
Below is a Dropbox link to the minidumps from today. I use this machine to run my plex server and marketing software. I keep getting BSOD and cant seem to isolate the problem. A few of them seem to be related to Kaspersky.
I run high bandwidth intense programs with a bunch of threads (5,000+).
They system has 2 xenon e5506 with 32gb ram, CPU usage can sometimes hit the 100% mark for a few minutes but typical is stable around 60%. I recently downloaded and updated all drives/bios. I'm not sure if its too much processing at once that is causing the crashes, or if its a driver issues. Error I always get is IRQL related.

I am using my desktop (HP Pavilion) with the HP monitor that came with it. I use a DVI cable but recently the monitor is going black constantly and the pace is increasing. As of right now it can blacken one time in 4 minutes or three times in 30 seconds, so it's really annoying.
The computer isn't off, it's just the monitor, so if if I click my mouse I could still pause my video even when the monitor is black. I have to unplug the monitor's power cord then plug it back in and it goes back on.
My usb fan i bought that sits under the labtop to keep it cool don,t go off now all the sudden since i had to change the bios setting to allow usb devices to wake computer.because i changed that setting so i would not haft to keep pushing the power button to make it go to sleep an since then now my power to the fan won,t go off.
Since upgrading to Windows 10, I have been having issues with constant high disk usage, I've googled and not really found any solution, I have disabled some features but hasn't made any difference.
I do run McAfee and I cannot end its processes to see if that is causing the problem but I think it is something else. Unless it is something within mcafee causing it I am unable to stop most of the processes.
THis issue is causing computer to be sluggish.

After upgrading to Windows 10, I've been having tremendous problems getting my Brother MFC-J430W working wirelessly, installing the latest Windows 8.1 x64 drivers from their website works fine and it detects the printer through wireless right away.
My problems with it are the Printer constantly says its offline under the Windows 10 printing tab however the Brother's icon shows the device connected and ready and even shows me the current ink levels. The only way I can currently print a document is by restarting my computer, and very quickly sending a document to print before it goes offline again. So basically the printer only seems to connect online when I restart the computer but goes offline within a minute or two, I didn't experience this issue in Windows 8.1 x64.
So the problem I've been having with Windows 10 is that it is constantly freezing on me and loops the sound over and over until it unfreezes. The computer is unresponsive and acts like it is about to bluescreen but it doesn't. After it unfreezes, it might display a notification that my graphics card driver crashed(Nvidia 353.63 windows 10 64bit). I would really like the freezing to stop and sometimes the freezing lasts up to 5 minutes or even endless!
My computer is crashing every time I turn on my computer. It crashes after around 15 minute. After it crashes once, it crashes right away right before or after the welcome screen. Before it crashes, my screen fuzzes, sometimes it doesn't. I tried a lot of things by deleting my graphics driver completely using ddu program or something like that and reinstall only the display driver.
Since I upgraded from Win 8 to 10, I find that I need to restart my laptop several times a day or else it begins to blank out and flicker and then crash altogether. I recently installed CCcleaner (the free version) to clean the cache and that seemed to work but the problem still comes back, plus all my saved passwords get deleted. I have an HP Envy dv7 with 8 GB of RAM. This PC runs pretty well most of the time but when it begins to slow down and flicker, etc., then the problem starts. I do notice that this happens most often after I have been on the web for a period of time.
