Followed instructions but see no Searchapp.exe (SearchUI,exe) in the list. 

 

Clicking on the processes tab only opens and closes a drop-down menu.

UPDATE,

 

 

I have found Searchapp.exe in Task Manager/Services and have Disabled Cortana and Search.exe. 

 

I have a class at 10.-00 this morning using Skype, Outlook, Whatsap and web pages so I will see how it performs.

Dismal performance.

 

Skype in conference, Outlook open, struggled to open Word document again. Whatsapp open. Google Translate open. 

 

The first three speed tests are with all the above running and Gridinsoft active. 

 

The fourth speed test is with  all the above running... with ALL Antivirus turned off.

 

The fifth speed test is all apps closed but with two web pages open. One for this reply and another for the speed test. Gridinsoft OFF. 

 

Last speed test with just the two web pages open and Gridinsoft ON.

Let's look at Task Manager, Performance.  You should see something like this:

 

 

Look at the little graphs on the left.  When you are having your problems do any of the graphs show the resource has maxed out?  If so click on Resource Monitor and then on the tab associated with the resource.

I had to wait until this morning to recreate conditions. Unfortunate as well as Skype English class I had the builders in the next apartment banging away, the mailman and parcel delivery banging on the door and the phone going.

Anyway I didn't complete Resource monitor part  but I will do this  on Thursday under similar conditions.

However, I did manage to capture Task Manager screen and can tell you that from the usage I was seeing whilst on Skype call, using Outlook and Google translate simultaneously, .the  CPU image although showing 75% usage,  was maxing out around 90/100%. Also the HDD was working under heavy load around 60/70. As said, I will capture the Resource Monitor stats on Thursday.

OK the CPU maxed out like that is probably causing the problem.

 

I'm sure I've given you the Process Explorer before but just in case:

 

Get Process Explorer

https://live.sysinte...com/procexp.exe

Save it to your desktop then run it (Vista or Win7+ - right click and Run As Administrator).  

View, Select Column, check Verified Signer, OK
Options, Verify Image Signatures


Click twice on the CPU column header  to sort things by CPU usage with the big hitters at the top.  

Wait a full minute then:

File, Save As, Save.  Note the file name.   Open the file  on your desktop and copy and paste the text to a reply.


Try and create a log with Process explorer when the CPU is maxed out.

[Zanshin]

I don't know how successful this was but it is extremely difficult to follow all the instructions whilst holding a live class. Today was the extreme end of programmes/apps hanging, so much so at one point I had to hook up my other laptop to the internet to open an email in Outlook to keep up with the class.

Your Process Explorer log shows a system that is badly overloaded.  Not sure exactly why tho the high Interrupts may be a clue.  Usually means a bad driver.

 

 Can you give me a new log with the system idle?

 

Then a second one with Skype running (but not connected to anyone)

[Zanshin]

Three screenshots at IDLE taken 20 secs apart as the process monitor is constantly changing. Only things running were Gridinsoft in the background, Process explorer and Snipping tool. The screenshot with Skype running is named Skype. 

Even with everything off and nothing at all running this laptop is sloooow to open any app or programme, especially at startup, even slower responding than my cranky old Samsung.

Skype is definitely a problem but some of your other stuff is running a bit high.

DWM is too high in all of your screenshots.  Usually this means that the graphics driver isn't as efficient as it should be so see if a new driver will help:

 

This should be the very latest as it just came out 2 days ago:

 

https://www.amd.com/...eon-r4-graphics

 

Click on the + in front of Windows 10 64-Bit Edition

Then on the Download button for

Adrenalin 21.4.1 Recommended (WHQL)

Save then go to the download folder and right click on the downloaded file and Run As Admin.

 

If that installs OK then make a new Process Explorer log with SKYPE running.

You might do better letting Process Explorer save the log rather than taking screenshots as the screenshot software is also a big CPU hog.

 

Wait a full minute then:

File, Save As, Save.  Note the file name.   Open the file  on your desktop and copy and paste the text to a reply.

Well that wasn't too successful. AMD pre install recommended a factory reset, so I followed the recommendation. After install I now find at least one of my graphics controls doesn't work at all. Upon reboot I found my display/screen brightness was about 50/60 % and relatively dim. I went into Settings and used the slider to up the brightness. Nothing. The slider works fine but doesn't alter screen brightness one iota. Also, everything is just as slow opening up including Outlook, Word document etc. 

Using the Save File option was also not too successful. I opened up Skype (and still had Outlook open making sure I followed your instructions correctly) either. With Skype running I saved the Processor file. I thought I would do another one to give balance. Nothing. Clicking on file wouldn't even open the drop down menu. Tried several times to Save another Processor file without success. Unless of course you can only save one File at a time and have to close Processor and re-open to save another file?

The only file saved on my desktop says "Registry", I hope this is the correct file. 

In answer to my own question, I did close Processor Monitor and re-open and was able to save a second file.

Update.

 

A lot of my graphics are now barely usable as in my streaming content films etc are mostly getting pixelated or the film is being shown in the wrong ratio. Also, upon checking whether this was a supplier of my streaming content issue I checked download family video clips and found exactly the same. Some clips played fine, others were pixelated and had trouble playing.

I am going to do a System Restore hoping that will undo the AMD Factory Reset and just download the new driver.

System Restore successful. Laptop back to previous state, all working. AMD Adrenalin downloaded and installed successfully. Rebooted. Report attached.

I have no problem saving multiple Process Explorer logs (just need to change the name when I do a Save As).   Best to wait a full minute after bringing up Process Explorer before saving the log.  Otherwise you get false results because Process Explorer's initial startup CPU use shows up in the log.

 

Appears to have helped DWM and Skype marginally but Interrupts went up.

 

Not sure what happened to your graphics.  On the same page

https://www.amd.com/...eon-r4-graphics

is an Auto-Detect and Install program.  You might try it and see if it recommends the same version you installed.  It may be that your PC has some tweaks from the maker that means we can only use graphics software modified by the PC maker.

 

Try uninstalling Skype then download a new version and reinstall.  See if that makes any difference.

 

Also audiodg.exe is showing up in your Process Explorer log.  Perhaps you need a newer audio driver.  Check with your PC maker's support page and see if there is a newer driver available.

 

Tell me again the make and model of your PC.  I expect you told once many pages ago but I've forgotten.

 

Appears we haven't run dxdiag so let's try that.

 

Search for

dxdiag

hit Enter

wait for it to come up.

When the green bar at the bottom goes away it is finished scanning.  Hit Save All Information and save the file somewhere then attach it to a reply.

 

(Something odd just happened when I ran dxdiag.  When I switched back to Firefox to write up what to do when it finished I lost my Search box and DXDIAG did not show up in the bottom like it should have.  Had to go into Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del and select Task Manager) then select Explorer and End Task then File New Task and type in Explorer to get my desktop back.  I've never seen it do that before.  Don't know if it's a problem with my system, dxdiag, or what but thought I would warn you so you don't have anything open when you do it in case you need to reboot to get control back.)
