More of a general Q/A, a mix of opinion and technical.
I used to own a Win 8 laptop. An earlier laptop that used to run XP (like 9 years ago). The Win 8 laptop is dead. And I install Win 7 on the 9 year old laptop just as a temporary measure while buying my (current Win 10 laptop).
Here is the thing. The laptop is brand new - but it is slow and unresponsive like heck. Everything takes time. I've installed Chrome. Something that is instant on my 9 year old laptop (Win 7)for example opening a new tab is taking around 30 sec.
Clicking on the wifi icon, it takes 43 sec before the list of wi-fi appears.
Cliking on the magnifying glass takes 31 sec before it open and i can search app.
And starting (or swithing) to new app will almost always gives me the "Not Responding" for a while.
It was so freaking slow I was wondering if the shop actually stole my cpu and replaced it slower but compatible ones. So I downloaded Intel CPU tools. So I run Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. But here is the strange things happens. The CPU is rarely above 5%. Around 2% to 4%.
So what gives? What is the issue?
Anyone have this experience before and how do you solve it?
