Posted June 7, 20177 yr Asus A43S Hey guys, this laptop originally came with win 7 but was upgraded to win 10 and was working slow so I did a reset. I am noticing that "sometimes" the browsers chrome, FF or IE will take a long time to open when I click on them. I am not understanding why only sometimes this is happening. The laptop is working great otherwise and when on the net, can anyone help solve this problem please?
June 7, 20177 yr FPCH Staff Could be that Windows 10 is downloading updates in the background. Bring up the Task Manager to see what's running.
June 7, 20177 yr Author For right now, I will disable automatic updates, thanks for the idea. My idea was that something is running in the background whenever that happens but is there any utility outside of TM which might show when that occurs?

June 9, 20177 yr Author I am wondering if HDD might be the issue This unit is sometimes kicking out the network too.
June 9, 20177 yr Author Going off the net every now and then and I have to re-enter the network password, I reloading OS now
June 9, 20177 yr FPCH Staff Is it wireless? How do you know it's getting kicked out? Try using an Ethernet cable. It might be the modem/router.
June 9, 20177 yr Author I'm thinking it's a wireless issue, will know soon about this and the glitch.
June 9, 20177 yr If it is the only computer on your network losing the connection to the internet then it is probably not the modem and/or router. MS updates drivers. Perhaps your wireless driver was updated and is not using the one that is best for the system. If you've archived drivers, you might be able to see the version of wireless driver that Win 7 was using. I'd advise you to turn off driver updates in Windows 10. My theory, if a driver is working, there is no reason to update it. I was burned in the past by installing a MS suggested driver. I don't do this any more.
June 9, 20177 yr Author I had turned off MS updates before switching to the other drive with win 7 an that didn't help, will report back .
