Poor Performance in WIN 10 - multiple paging request and low hard disk read speed

[BThilak]

Hi All,

I am facing poor performance in WIN 10.below are the stuffs I did to fix it a bit[but still not enough]

1. Initillay I thought it was because of the several Bloatwares in WIN 10 ,hence stopped all backgroud running bloatwares that comes with WIN 10.Even then I faced the lags while opening start menu or notification pop up .
2. Then I stopped the search and Update services to increase performance still more.But there was still a lag.
3. Did a performance tool kit scan to get a error telling there is a Excessive paging.Found out that my Antivrus "ESET" was one of the reason for the performance issue too.[Advice me which anti virus will be good in both performance and security]

Please advice how to solve the issue.My system config is listed below

Product name - HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab029tx
Microprocessor - Intel® Core™ i5-5200U with Intel HD Graphics 5500 (2.2 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)

Hello @BThilak

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

ESET products (NOD32 and others) are usually the best when it comes to performance and security. It might be some conflict between ESET and 3rd party app. Windows Defender (built-into Windows) is usually light but not good re. protection.

** Have you tried uninstalling ESET completely ? Do you notice improvement after uninstalling ESET and reboot ?

** Is your Windows fully updated ?

** Can you post again and attach several screenshots (pictures) which show your problems, what you notice and the screens re the excesive paging ?

** Could you give me a log file to see what apps you have on your PC:

Download Autoruns (from Microsoft) from this URL => http://live.sysinternals.com/autoruns.exe

Save the snapshot on the desktop in .TXT file

Open the newly created TXT log file.

Mark and Select all of the text (e.g. CTR+A), copy it and
