Problem description: On a machine that was previously fast, I formatted and re-installed Windows 10. Basic operations like "open start menu", "open new explorer window", "open settings" now delay by around 30 seconds. Attempted fixes: Tried checking for lag before installing any programs -- still lags. Still lags after downloading/installing all possible Windows Updates and rebooting a few times. Still lags if I flatten and reinstall again. Only is fast in Safe Mode. Once I do install anything, those programs take around 30 seconds to startup too. Recent changes: Flattened and reinstalled. I deleted ALL partitions on the HDD (including system/recovery) and just let the installer work around that (looks like it re-made new system/recovery partitions). Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit education System specs: Lenovo X220 Laptop (Type 4286-CTO) Location: US I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes Happy Thread fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Feb 12, 2020 |

Note: Although everything's fast again under Safe Mode, a couple drivers seem to be absent there -- the mouse scroll button stops working, and the display aspect ratio is stretched. Could the lack of those be making it fast again? Maybe if stuff related to that hardware is crashing a lot of times per second?

Wow, that is really helpful! I will try those things next. I think you're on to something with missing video drivers.

Slayerjerman posted:1. Firstly, go to settings and Ease of Access and turn off Animations, Hide Scrollbar and Disable Transparency. Surprisingly this is what got immediate results. I guess those features were too much for my improper video driver configuration. I installed the final driver posted by Lenovo for the Intel HD 3000 integrated card, and sure enough Windows Update had an additional update for it once that was in place. No slowdown ever since. Thank you!
