pavillion x360convertible
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

the processing speed is too slow.

if the laptop is in sleep mode and i touch the screen or press space bar key, it takes more than 3 seconds for the display to appear.

also too much of updates, every time before a new update is installed, the working becomes too slow.

 

also sometimes when i switch on the laptop, the screen appears just blank with no activity....wasting a hell of my time

Can only address the first two issues -- as these are directly related to Windows 10.

The first is hybrid sleep and that saves information to the hard drive.  When you wake it, the PC has to read the hard drive to restore its previous session. That takes a while.

The second is most likely Windows Update. With a Win10 PC, you're almost always going to experience a very slow PC at times because Windows Update (WU) is hogging your PC, searching for, downloading, and installing updates -- to bring your PC up to the most current version of Windows.

If you reset your PC, you only made matters WORSE! Why? Because you reset Win10 back to the original version that came preloaded on the PC and that restarted Windows Update all over again.

To find out what version and build of Win10 your PC is running, do the following:
1) enter "cmd" (without the quotes) into the search area and select the Command Prompt option
2) enter "winver" into the command window (again, without the quotes)
3) the most current Win10 is v1809 Build 17763.316

If yours is older than that, most likely WU is hogging your PC trying to update it.

To disable WU temporarily, do the following:
1) Enter "services" in the search area (again, without the quotes)
2) When the window opens, scroll down until you see Windows Update
3) If it say Running under status, that indicates that WU is running
4) To change that, double-click on that task, select Stop under the Service status, and then Apply
5) That should stop WU -- and you should see an immediate improvement in performance

WU will restart itself automatically later on, so you basically have no choice than to bear with it until it finishes.
