System running super slow with Windows 10
location: 8forums.com - date: October 16, 2015
My Dell Inspiron laptop came with Windows 7 installed in 2011. I had Windows 10 installed via download in August 2015. At first the speed was fine. Now my laptop is so slow that it has become almost unusable. I often click on something and have to wait 10 to 20 seconds for a reaction. Just shutting down can take 5 minutes. Looking in the task manager I see under Processes that my memory is 92% full, and the System process is using more than 180 Mb of memory. I have tried many things to speed up my laptop. I tried modifying the paging file size for virtual memory to a lower size, but then I kept getting low memory warnings every few minutes and my apps would close if I ignored the warnings. I end up needing a large paging f

Running VM's Within Windows 10
location: 8forums.com - date: January 17, 2015
Hello, my first post here, hope it's in the right place. I've been running Windows 10 since the day after the preview was released. However I took a different route than most when evaluating the OS, I installed it on my school laptop. Now it's not the best, only 1.4Ghz Intel Celeron 2995U processor with 4 gigs of RAM. What I am attempting to do is run 2 virtual machines within Windows 10, one running Windows Server 2008 R2, and one running Windows 7 Pro. My question is this, has anyone had any issues running VM's on Windows 10? Hell, has anyone else even attempted? I've been digging around on the net have yet to find any sort of commentary on this. Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

I have calling up anything or saving to the server takes a long time. We have windows 7 workstations and do not have that problem. Anyone know of any setting that may need to be changed or anyone have this issue.

Does running Norton Internet Security prevent System Restore from working with windows8?
location: microsoft.com - date: June 2, 2013
I had a problem in that I could not update Acrobat (this has now been fixed) but as part of a suggested solution I uninstalled Acrobat. When I could still not install the newer version I tried to do a system Restore but it failed saying an [unspecified] file was in use and I should disable antivirus software and try again. I did deactivate Norton but it made no difference. Is there some common "bug" or software that would cause system restore to fai? Given that this is one of the main methods to fix any system errors it is worrying when SR fails to work.

Problem running ALL games with DirectX 10-11
location: 7forums.com - date: June 28, 2012
So,I'm having problem running every game with DirectX 10, 10.1, and 11. And i mean ALL games because every game i run using DirectX 10 above will exits itself to desktop but with sound still playing at the background after 30 minutes or less playing it. And if I alt+tab back to the game,it will crash and not responding so I have to end process via task manager. The problem doesn't exists if I force these games using DirectX 9 though. I've tried reinstalling DirectX,run the game as an administrator,and even turn off my antivirus completely..the problem still persists. So,what could be causing this problem? Thanks

Windows Mobile Device Center Compatibility with Windows 10
location: microsoft.com - date: June 17, 2015
Is or will Windows Mobile Device Center be compatible with Windows 10?  There are some legacy devices that require sync with WMDC and then there are security personnel that do not allow devices to connect to their Wi-Fi but rather connect them via USB using WMDC.  I was able to get WMDC to work successfully on Windows 8 and 8.1.  So far I have not heard any news in regards to Windows 10.  Looking forward to hearing results and or news regarding this.  Thx everyone.
