Windows 10 is SLOW and heats up my Laptop. WHY?

[Blackberry-Prince]

Help mine too. Since installing Windows 10 everything on my laptop is SLOW. It takes an age to boot, then ages for anything to open up.

Can I restore my system to its original Windows 7 please anyone??

Start------Settings-----Update and Recovery-----Recovery-----Get back to Windows 7

Now sit tight! And wait for a couple of minutes.

Are you running out on metal or vm? A friend of mine was having lots of issues on vm that is not affecting any of my PCs.

I had a similar problem, there was a background task taking up all resources named "runtime broker". I was told to turn off "show windows tips" under settings and now everything runs smoothly. Dont remember where exactly that setting us though but it worked for me.

Upon first upgrading to 10 my laptop was the same, left it on for a day or so & it cooled down & the HDD light flashing slowed down, seems after upgrading it has to run indexing or something.
I had the overheating & fan speed problem reoccur & it was due to the latest cumulative update, removed & redownloaded & it was fine again.

Not as good as Win8.1 but I can work with this too.

After using Windows 10 for a bit IT SUCKS I miss my crap Windows 8.1 I do like 10 the UI and everything but it has been giving me problems.

Go back to Windows 8.1, or better still, Windows 7. I'm so annoyed by Windows 10 at the moment and the problem it causes.

I have a Lenovo laptop. There's this cool feature called 'ONE KEY RECOVERY' I used it to get back to my original Win8.1
Win10 screwed my laptop. No battery liife, heatup and also laggy. I'll stick to windows8.1

Yes, I just updated Windows 10 today too, and mine is heating up and slow too! My laptop did run really good and seemed to never heat up. If this messes up my computer I am going to raise hell!

Give it a bit of time. Probably re-indexing your hard drive.

I gave it 3 months. Didnt do anything. Once while upgrading a couple of weeks later a clean install. Doesnt do anything. Back to windows 8.1 thanks to One Key Recovery.
