slow cpu performance after windows update


Recommended Posts

Hello

My system spec are as follows,

AMD 4000(939)

2GB cosair ram

2 raptor 150gb

1 320 gb seagate

6600gt graphic card PCI

480 watts PSU.

Asus A8N32 SLI

I have been updating my pc for windows updates from the windows update site. After updating I found a strange problem that the overall system performance drops and cpu performance drops by a huge margin. I been running benchmarks using pcpitstop and without the updates the cpu scores around 8000-8111 and after the windows update it drops to 7200-7300.

I reformatted twice with xp pro and media centre 2005 and same issue, once the updates has been installed via the Windows updates site the whole system performance drops but cpu is effected the most. I did everything clean up Defrag the HDs and so on, but I am amazed that a glitch of this kind could happen after updating an operating system via Windows updates.

Please help.

Thanks

I don't know which updates are causing the problems but there is glitch some where with these updates. Microsoft is full of dick heads I mean come on this is a huge problem...

I'll just do a format and will not install anything except critical updates.

    • Or, they could really turn the table upside down and rename it in BINARY. 00011001
    • I have tried that registry 'trick' from that video already. It doesn't work at all in Win11 for me   Yes it's a 3rd party app... that I am only using because of Microsoft breaking user customization in Windows 11. So yes... the is a Windows 11 issue. As of now to me, Microsoft has made a huge mistake with this in Windows 11.   The current font option in Windows 11 are terrible. They are just missing. People that want to use their own computer the way they want to, they need to avoid 11.
    • It's been an age since I did desktop support, but here goes: You have an issue with Windows 11, which is fair.  You are using a freeware 3rd party app to make modifications to the default Windows 11.  Since an update, this 3rd party application no longer plays nice with Windows 11.  And this is somehow Windows 11's fault? Sorry, not buying that this is a Windows 11 problem... it's a customization issue that has just appeared, but standard 3rd party support.   Clearly you're upset.  You can't make Windows do anything, just like you can't make MacOS run Explorer or Linux run Nintendo games natively.  And I know people are going to say "sure, it's possible..." but those aren't defining elements of the OS.  You can't have animated backgrounds in Windows 11 natively -- so it's trash amirite??? I did quick searches about changing the default fonts and there are ways to do it, and clearly 3rd party freeware apps can do it (basically my guess is they're making registry changes on your behalf) and clearly they're having issue.   You can make your computer do a lot of things, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Did a quick search and don't see an easy option in Windows 10 either.  Some of these links - ironically - are for Windows 10.  They still apply. Here's a video tutorial of how it can be done without a 3rd party:   Same reference here with a bit more detail: https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10/ Once the font is chosen, the size can be changed via personalization from my understanding. Hope this helps.
