No.  We are using the resource monitor to tell us what logs in the event viewer to disable.  The resource monitor is just a reference.

 

Look at the attached picture. 

log.jpg

We have already done the one I crossed through.  The next one is ...WER-PayloadHealth%4Operational.etvx

 

That translates to this log:

 

Search for

Event Viewer

hit Enter

This will bring up the Event Viewer.

Click the arrow in front of Applications and Services Log

Click the arrow in front of Microsoft

Click the arrow in front of Windows

You will see a long list of possible logs.  Scroll down until you find

Click the arrow in front of WER-PayloadHealth

Click on Operational.

Click on Disable Log

Okay, I disabled every log that ended in .evtx except for the ones that ended in security. Those I don't know where to find them. I left you a picture for you to see what I'm talking about. 

It's the first one.

You don't want to disable security so that's fine.   Has disabling the logging helped the disk activity?   What does resource monitor show now?

Everything still runs pretty slow. I took some screenshots of the resource monitor and the task manager. Hope those help.

Looks like an update is stuck.

 

See if the troubleshooter for Windows Update finds anything:

It found something but it fixed it. I ran the troubleshooter again to be safe and it didn't find anything else. What should I do next?

I don't really know how to read the resource monitor, but here are some screenshots of it and the task manager. The percentages are still pretty high.

Actually I think we fixed it.  Your disk usage is down to 7% and CPU looks good too.

 

Let's try Latency Monitor:

Go to

http://www.resplendence.com/downloads

Scroll down to

System Monitoring Tools

and then find

LatencyMon 6.70 (or it may be a higher number if they update)

Click on Download free home edition

Save it then right click and Run As Admin.  It will install and then start the program.  
It will tell you to click on the Start button but there isn't one.  
Instead click on the green arrowhead (looks like a Play button).   Let it run for at least 20 seconds.  Then hit the red box to stop it.

Edit, Copy Report text to Clipboard then move to a REPLY and Ctrl + v to paste the text into a reply.

I got distracted and let it run for longer. Sorry. Here it is. 

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system seems to be having difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates. 
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for  0:01:17  (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution.

Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
 
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Download OOSU10.exe:

https://www.oo-softw...com/en/shutup10

Download and Save it (You will get a popup while it's downloading.  You can X out of it)
then Right click and Run As Admin.
Allow it to make a System Restore Point.
Click on Actions then on Apply Recommended Settings.

Close the program and reboot.

After each major update it's wise to rerun the program and Revert the changes.

 

 

Search for

task scheduler

hit Enter

Click on the arrow in front of Task Scheduler Library then

Click on the arrow in front of Microsoft

Click on the arrow in front of Windows

Click on Application Experience.  In the next pane to the right, right click on each Task and Disable.  Should be three tasks.

Click on Customer Experience Improvement Program.  In the next pane to the right, right click on each Task and Disable.  Should be two tasks.

Reboot

 

 

Rerun Latency Monitor for 20 seconds then stop it.  Click on the Drivers Tab.  Click on the column header for "Total execution (ms)" once or twice until the biggest numbers are at the top then take a screen shot and post it.  Click on the Processes tab then click on the column header once or twice until the big numbers are at the top.  Take a screen shot and post it.

I couldn't seem to find the System Restore option anywhere. Also, I wasn't able to get the highest hitters for the processes tab to be on top. However, here are the screenshots.

Usually it asks you when you run OOSU10 if you want to make a system restore point and you just have to answer yes or no.  Perhaps your PC does not have system restore turned on.  Nothing to worry about.

 

If there are no page faults that's a good thing.  You had 59 before but perhaps OOSU10 or the task scheduler stuff helped or maybe it was just because they didn't happen in a shorter time.

 

I forgot to ask for the summary.  I assume it still said it wasn't suitable?

 

Right now the problem appears to be with the network.

 

Do you need Anydesk?  (For that matter did you install it?)  If you are not using it to remotely control this PC while we work on it then either uninstall it or go in to Task Manager, Startup and disable it.  Also disable

uTorrent.

 

Reboot.

 

Go to

chrome://settings/


Find:

On Startup

 Click on

Open The New Tab Page.


Find:

Search engine
Search engine used in the address bar - change to Google


Click on Manage search engines

For each search engine except Google under Default Search Engines, click on the three bars and select Remove From List.




Scroll to the bottom and click on Advanced.

 

Now scroll to where it says System and turn off

 

Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed
 

Under

Privacy and security

 

turn off:

 

Preload pages for faster browsing and searching

 

That should cut down the number of Chrome.exe programs running.  Restart Chrome so that the changes take effect.

 

Rerun Latency Monitor for 20 seconds as before.  If it still says the system is not suitable then try shutting down Chrome while you run Latency Monitor or disabling your network adapter (Search for

device manager

hit Enter

Find the network adapter you are using and rightclick and disable. ) Then rerun Latency Monitor.

I did a second run however (this time for 1 minute) and it said that the system was having trouble handling real time audio and other tasks.
