Solved: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater Sped up my laptop immensely, as did limiting background updats to 5% bandwidth usage, installing all required updates and restarting, and disabling as many start up programs as I could. As for why school and library potato-spec machines run so well, I’m pretty sure enterprise builds do most of this by default and a lot of work is offloaded by a server.
Without fail, I can go into a school or library and power on their DDR2 machines with Core 2 chips and 320GB 3.5″ Hard drives, integrated graphics, and they run windows 10 so well.
Meanwhile my AMD A9 9425 Laptop with 4GB of DDR4 and HDD runs windows 1000x worse.
How do they do it? what am I doing wrong? Is it some IT secret or are windows enterprise builds just that much faster? What can I do to recreate this magic on my machine?
