System Uses Up All Ram And CPU For About 2-3 Hours After Startup?
Oct 6, 2015
Windows 10 seems to like to scan my entire computer everyday which takes about 2-3 hours at startup. I can't get any work done. I am spending most of my time in the morning waiting...waiting...waiting. When it isn't doing these random scans, it's great and fast.
I have tried rebooting to stop the scans. Often times not able to use the shut down button, so turning off at the main switch...then all havic starts...screens are all messed up...one works the other doesn't, the font are different on each, it is all so random. I realize that Windows 10 is the new Big Brother...watching....watching, but give it a rest, don't do this during working hours (Australia time).

I try to update a Win7 PC to Windows 10.
After a while the update starts searching for updates, this search keep running for hours and hours without any result.
The screen keeps showing 'Searching for updates (0%).
Also the Win7 update on the pc keeps running without any result.

I have an app named "Timer+" which after it is set and finishes makes a loud beeping noise until it is turned off.
I can have up to three timers running at the same time.
I have discovered if my QUIET HOURS are turned on, then no sound will be made (at any time of day)
when any of my timers finish. Only a notification appears in the action center. (NO BANNER, NO SOUND)
When Quiet Hours are turned off "Timer+" works perfectly.
Any way to set custom hours for QUIET HOURS. What are the default Quiet Hours?

This is **NOT** a boot issue, the system boots up just fine and gets to the login screen fast. The issue is the system startup after login, it is takes a rather long time for Windows to become usable. I have tried stopping all NON windows services in msconfig, but this made barely any difference. Even after the system seems to have finished the startup, once I open the browser it then takes ages until it loads the first web page. If I run task manager there is nothing that is hogging the cpu or memory or disk.
I have defragged the disk, although I had to use a 3rd party tool to do this as Windows defrag refuses to do it because it thinks it is an SSD disk due to the 32GB SSD cache.

My Windows 10 home-64b works flawlessly, but I've realized that the system configuration stubbornly continues to initiate under "Selective Startup" instead of "Normal Startup" which makes me wonder which "services" cannot be loaded. I've tried to change it but it continues to be the same "selective Startup". This makes me uncomfortable cause possible future problems.

This afternoon my wife was doing something on the computer, got stuck, and rebooted. Once she rebooted a screen popped up into a repair diagnostic screen and said it was diagnosing the error to repair it. Only problem was that it didn't repair anything and the options that were available were all tried and nothing fixed this infinite loop issue. Luckily, I backed up my system with Acronis TrueImage so as we're speaking my PC is being restored. Windows 10...

I have a laptop that was a Windows 7 Home Premium machine (HP dv6-2150us) that had an Windows 10 in place update performed on it a few months back (Nov 5, 2015). It had been running fine but recently had been randomly crashing. Two days ago, it crashed again and would boot to the "Startup Repair" mode attempt to run, then tell me "Startup Repair" couldn't repair your PC. and endlessly loop through that (if you told it to reboot) unless I went the Advanced Options.
I tried accessing Safe mode with and without networking, but not luck. I can get to the command prompt.
At one point it out of the blue it displayed the path to the "SrtTrail.txt" file which apparently is the log train for the "Startup Repair". The screwing thing is I check the date/time on the log file and each time the "Startup Repair" runs it does update the file whether it displays it on the screen. So apparently it could be random whether MS lets you know where to look for clues. Yeah MS!
Any way the I looked at the "SrtTrail.txt" and it states that the following pass.
"Check for Updates"
"System Disk Test" "
Disk Failure Diagnosis"
"Disk Metadata Test"
"Target OS Test"
"Volume Content Check"
and the Root cause found "The operating system variation is incompatible with Startup Repair"
I did a bit of Googling and found others with the same problem : [URL] .... But they did not have success in reviving the Machine
Any way of resolving the issue that would leave my programs intact? Is it as simple of having the correct BCD entry? If so, what the BCD entry should be the entry for a Windows 7 box that had a Windows 10 in place upgrade done?
The current entry in the boot record is
osdevice: partition=E:
Systemroot: windows
resumeobject: {3c5d113c-777-11e5-82d9-8199ff9a6bfc}
nx: Optin
boomenupolicy: Standard

I built my very first PC in the weekend. Everything was working fine, but after a restart, I had an error message saying something along the lines of "Windows couldn't start". I then had several options where I ended up choosing something like "Start Windows from a version that worked" which erased like half of my programs and many of my drivers. I then proceeded to reset the computer entirely and restarted.
Now, the computer is working again (as it were before) and I've installed everything again, including all the drivers (I hope). However, when I restart the computer, I get a blue screen that says: "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll start for you. If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO. It then restarts and works perfectly. This only happens every approx. third restart, the other times, it boots just fine.
I bought Windows 10 Home on a USB which I used to install on my new SSD. All the drivers should be up to date. What to do?

I am on the east coast and my computer has always reflected EST but with Windows 10, it shows six hours off when I set it for EST. I have to set it to -11 hours off from GMT to get the time correct. That would be fine but that time zone does not allow for Daylight Savings time changes so it's OK now but when there is a time change, this computer will be off by an hour the next day.
I updated from windows 7 and the computer kept hanging so I did a complete install and am seeing this time problem now. I tried using a NIST program that syncs with the government time server but Win 10 won't let it sync saying I don't have administrator privileges. That is a separate issue I'll have to look into but as it stands, I have this computer set for EST, I am 100 miles from New York City and it is showing 4:50PM but the real time for me is 10:50AM.

I don't know if this is a 10 problem or computer problem. My internet will drop every few hours while I am using it. I originally thought it was my cable provider, and most of the time I rebooted my modem, and this seemed to correct the problem. Then I just rebooted the computer and it also solved the problem.

I was prompted to upgrade to Windows 10 today on my Windows 8.1 Dell laptop. The upgrade has been sitting at 75% for several hours now and doesn't seem to be progressing. Should I leave it be or take some action?

After restarting to start the upgrade to Windows 10 (from Windows 8.1), it's been stuck at 38% in the Configuring updates for windows 10 screen for about 3 hours now, and I'm not sure what to do. Is a reboot safe?

I recently updated to win 10 from win 7. After that i wanted to start fresh so i did a factory reset. I started the reset 9 hours ago and it stuck on 35 % of resetting. I don't know what to do because a video i saw on youtube said it will take 15-30 minutes to reset.

I am running Windows 10 Pro. My computer had BSOD quite frequently these few days. It's kind of weird. I was unable to replicate the problem if I just use it for like 1-2 hours. If I use it for a little longer, BSOD will occur when I am trying to shut down. There were no problems at all when I am using it. It is not interrupting my usage but it is really annoying to see BSOD every time whenever I am shutting down.

I installed Windows 10 fairly quickly on my laptop, and firlgured it'd be just as painfree to do so on my desktop, but the install was stuck at 'Copying files - 48%' for hours. I figured that since it was just copying files, I would just restart the PC and start over, but now my PC does not want to output video. On startup, I don't even see the normal BIOS screen, and there is only HD activity for about a second after I power the PC back on.

Yesterday I installed some updates on my computer, however when it was rebooting it sat there for about an hour doing nothing. Eventually I force turned it off and tried to reboot it, however it kept doing the same thing. I looked up any fixes I could find, the only thing I saw was to try and boot it in safe made (Ctrl-Alt-Del then holding shift while clicking restart) even that still just sat at the red loading screen with the dots spinning in circles. I force shut it down a few more times and retried it, until I finally just let it sit there and finish, hoping it would have a time out feature. Well eventually it booted to the login prompt after 4 hours.
New issue is that whenever I close my laptop to put it to sleep, and then reopen it it looks fine but when I swipe away the cool picture, theres no login prompt. It looks just like the screen when you press ctrl alt delete. So I told it to do a regular restart, and upon rebooting it was stuck at the spinning dots on the red screen for 3 more hours before it booted. I understand I can just turn off putting the computer to sleep when I close the lid, and just darken the screen. I've already done that, I'm looking for a more permanent fix.

I've a Dell XPS 15 9550 (512GB SSD PCIe) that gives me a BSOD after at least two hours of uptime. It doesn't create any dump, it only gives me the error on the BSOD critical_process_died. I alredy tried to do various clean install of the OS redownloaded a lot of times and to set from BIOS the drive to RAID in AHCI with various manually installed driver without any result.. I don't know what can I do anymore..

I have a Lenovo flex 2 laptop that is brand new and used to run windows 8.1 until earlier today.
I opted for the recommended win 10 upgrade, and things went smoothly until it was time to reboot.
The laptop begins to boot, I get to see the Lenovo start screen for a few seconds, and then it turns off before starting over again.
This loop has been going on for 8 hours, as of right now.
All attempts to access the boot menu via the F2, F8, F11, and F12 keys have failed, and the novo key has had no effect.
I am desperate at this point- the laptop is brand new. And now it is next to useless. No actual customer support is available in the country I live in. I just want a way to go back to win8.1.
