Can´'t find out why. Already saw what processes were running,but noting out of the ordinary.

That's a pity because as far as I'm aware this problem is usually because some background process is continuously consuming a huge amount of processing power.

For the time being I am staying put and isolated, with WUS off and blocked, and updates being done not more than every 6 months, or less. But then, I do no shopping, financial, critical, sensitve, personally compromising or other dangerous stuff on the Windows system.


Windows tried to shove W11 on my rig twice, and boith times I managed to become aware of it in time and interupt it. Call me again in 2024 or so, when the teething problems hopefully are gone and Microsoft patches are worth to be called "patch" again. Too often in past years they caused havoc, especially on office and business machines running a lot of typical Microsoft business software. The combination was learned by many to be a recipe for desaster. Pure gamers' machines were a bit more lucky.

skybird, I had your reluctance when on 10. Took the plunge and glad I did. OK, every new system has bugs. MS have, recently, sent out a big fix which seems to have improved things, but the only way we can ID these bugs is to use it and, in elevenforum.com, report them to the 'insiders' who reside there and they forward them onto MS as soon as, if not quicker. MS, at the same time, sent down updates to 3.5 and 4.8 framework.



The other day I noticed that the right hand side of my taskbar was empty. I went into the forum and reported it and someone in Greece came up and said I'm glad its not just me. I fixed it by rebooting and it has stayed good, up to now



Yeah, happy. I'm staying with 11.

I judge them by how they brought Microsoft product patching down over the past couple of years, degrading the quality of the process more and more until a state when companies declared alarm day when patching Tuesday was around the corner again. Lurking around at some websites where tech amdinstrators did th etlaking, I just listend in and got my impressions. The pros' have their hairs raising way too too often.



Its not just abvout erh alcking poatch quality and quality assurnce, its also about the attitude by Microsoft and how they met these growing problems, and dealt with their customers. There is a reason why I run a second system on Linux that I use for the critical or sensitive stuff.

C'MON now! Even I went out the window on the last (Napa)California (2)destructive earthquake-which destroyed my brick chimney...$20k!! Like Skybird I've declined upgrading from WIN 10 to WIN 11 that is occasionally forced on me by the computer. I can handle raging infernos (within 8000 ft ) major quakes, but not Corporate upgrades on a damn computer from (well-hung) sex trafficker Epstein's good buddy, billionaire Bill Gate$. Figuring out new computer bugs being the least of my increasingly meager talents at age 71!!
