Product: HP pavilion dv6 Notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When upgrading from windows 7 home premium to windows 10 enterprice, the battery drains very fast. And when updating the AMD driver (configuration switchable graphics) the battery lasts for about 4 hours like it was with window 7 but the PC stucks and gets very noisy and starts up after 10 attempts, and this phenomena happens several times a day.

The first time that a newly-installed Windows 10 system connects to the Internet, Windows Update launches in the background, to try to download and install all the latest security-updates.  This can consume significant resources (CPU, disk-drive, RAM, network capacity) and make the computer feel "sluggish".  Of course, as the CPU works harder, the CPU generates more heat, and the motherboard reacts to the extra heat by speeding-up the fan, causing the fan to make more noise.

 

While Windows Update is running, some of the to-be-updated applications will not open, i.e., "stuck".

 

Connect the AC power supply, and let this "first-time" update run, and wait until it's done -- Windows will tell you to reboot to finish the installation of the updates.  After the reboot, the computer will run more quickly and more quietly.

 

Repeatedly restarting the computer only interrupts this "first-time" action.
