OK. Nothing there except what looks like a bad email.
Let's see what Process Explorer looks like in Safe Mode:
Go in to safe mode:
See: http://www.digitalci...mode-windows-10
Run process explorer as before and post the log.
You will need to boot back into regular mode to post so go bck in to msconfig and make sure Safe Mode is not checked then reboot.

The thing that MBAM found, MindSpark, is just some adware that attached itself to Chrome. Doubt it would have slowed the whole computer down.
That was this extension in case you were wondering:
CHR Extension: (MyScrapNook) - C:\Users\NiTa\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\lbapdklahcjljfincdglncfpdgfhckcf [2016-06-25]
Your last Process Explorer log looks much better. Something which doesn't run in Safe Mode is causing the problem. Hopefully it's something we can control from msconfig.
Go back into msconfig
Go to Services tab and click on the box to hide Microsoft Services then uncheck

Ok.. I think I can manage one "check" at a time LOL.. it's the weekend now, so this would keep me busy...

It's not as bad as it sounds. If you do 1/2 at a time then 1/2 of the remainder it's doable. Sorry I can't just say that's the one but all of your programs look normal.

With only the Avast checked and the Xbox unchecked... here is the Process Exporer Log...
I'm beginning to think my computer lag is either a Windows program or hardware problem...
My internet speed is supposed to be 50mbps+, instead it reads 20mbps- which my ISP totally ruled out their end..
my son's laptop reads 50mbps+ using the ethernet connection, but my computer rarely reaches the 20mbps.. at least it's cleaned..

These are the three key items to watch:
System Idle Process 78.18 0 K 4 K 0System 1.34 144 K 8,636 K 4Interrupts 0.93 0
If you see System Idle go down or one of the other two shoot up then you have found the culprit. I expect if we run speedtest as it stands you will get a lot better than 20 meg.

When I run Process Explorer, System Idle Process is mostly below 20, I just hit the space bar after 1 minute when it went to a higher number. As you mentioned, either the System or the Interrupts are usually on top.
Hope this will help me finally figure out how to get my computer up to par with what I'm paying for.

I guess I'm confused. Do you have anything unchecked in msconfig? Are you saying that the last process explorer log was a fluke?
#28
Posted 30 July 2016 - 06:55 PM

No, I left only the Avast checked along with the standard Windows. then I ran the Process Explorer, but as I was watching the numbers go up and down continuously for a minute,
After one minute, I save as a text right? Just go straight to "Save As", right?

That's exactly the way to do it. The last log looked really good so it appeared that we were on the right track. Does System Idle drop down significantly if you keep watching it past the minute? The minute wait is just to let procexp.exe settle down a bit. When it first starts up it takes most of the CPU time so it's hard to see what else is using the CPU. By waiting we give it time to get its startup work done. There is a WmiPrvSE.exe process that uses about 10% of the CPU every 10 seconds or so. That's usually what make it jump around so much. You can search for
services.msc
and hit Enter. That should open the services window. scroll down to and click on Windows Management Instrumentation and Stop the service. That should make things settle down some. WMI is just measuring performance. It's not critical. Sometimes it gets 3rd party monitoring programs added to it during an install and some of these are poorly written and cause it to eat up too much CPU.

I ran another Process Explorer after disabling the WmiPrvSE
