win 10 hanging up

I was told to do a clean boot but bdo not knoiw if you are suppsed to leave it that way.

I have uninstalled chrome which used to work with windows but doe not now.

I did a clean install and am having this hanging problem.

SFC was fine and I have cleaned with Ccleaner, windows only.

it workes better in safe mod with networking.

I have removed 4 of my 3rd party apps.

What ro do?

What exactly is the problem with Windows 10 to begin with? Why are you doing a clean boot?

The upgrade with the laptop was fine. Not so with the desktop; hanging/freezing. Flickering and other signs there was an issue. I tried to clear it up with SFC and DISM to to no avail. So as  advised I clean installed.

This freezing issue is all over the web if you look. MS even said to uninstall until a fix is found.

So it is chance.

I have been running other tasks like disabling or removing 3rd party and replacing them with those compatible with Win 10.

 

The biggest culprit but one I need is Chrome. When removed it works much much better. I depend upon Chrome as my phone uses it and I sync all to desktop from phone. I have found a work around though and use Edge.The laptop witch is very similar to the desktop and has no trouble with it or those 3rd party apps I removed.

 

I ran windows on Ccleaner and DISM once more and now I get an occasional freeze.

 

It worked fine in safe mode with networking.

 

As I said I do have images of it running well won both 1511 and 1607 so I will try to get the kinks out and image again if ok. I am asking for any help ideas or if others are having issues.

What upgrade - a Windows update?

Windows anniversary was an upgrade

Peter, once you have identified and removed the cause, return tyo a normal boot. Clean Boot is only for diagnostic purposes.

Or make a backup on an external hard drive and do a factory reset - keeping Windows 10 , be warned if you revert to 8 you may have to pay a fee to upgrade to 10

Thanks for the advice, Rich.

I ran system restore after a conflict but all went south.

I am putting the final touches on a Macrium image I created as soon as I did a clean install.

That damn Chrome messes everything up when I try to use it. My phone came with Chrome that's why I tried to use it. I also need Drive for my wife's probable transition to Chromebook. I am using Edge successfully.

I replaced some 3rd party apps that are compatible with Win 10.

Defrag at 12% reported it needed to run so it is now. After the updates this coming Tues. or Wed. I will image again if MS has worked some bugs out.

How are you doing with Win 10? That's a silly question b/c you can fix any issues.

Thanks again.

Peter

P.S. I have an image of 1511 which was a charm. I wish I never had to stop deferring but Defender is better with 1607.

I have one of 1607 but I like 1511 much better.

Win 10 has been rock solid for me on my Lenovo desktop, Toshiba and Dell laptops, Dell Venue tablet and a couple virtual machines.

 

The only real problem I had was the Lenovo wouldn't shutdown completely which was fixed by turning off Fast Startup. Had to do it again after the Anniversary update.

 

All are at teh Anniversary Update + follow-on updates or the latest Insider Preview version.

I see. That is the case with the lap top.

Only this desktop was an issue.

 

.Have you ever run Chrome on any of them?

I read where you really dislike Chrome and I have a feeling, after searching the web, and with my experience, when Chrome is installed all is crazy but without it, all is fine.

I amusing Edge with no issues now.

Sorry for the off topic post but just wanted to say:

Really? I've had the opposite experience. With me, it's internet explorer that constantly crashes so I need either Firefox or chrome

It's ok as any help is appreciated. My laptop is lucky as it upgraded with no issue. The machines are almost identical. I have run SFC, DISM, clean boot, removed Chrome, and 3 3rd party apps - this am I was told to go to power opts and choose how the buttons work and turn off fast startup. We will see if it helps. I have imaged back to 1511 which was great but I cannot defer forever and 1607 has a belter Defender. I did a clean install but as soon as the updates came, the pausing before responding for about 20 seconds started all over again.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

I dislike Chrome. It uses way to many resources and causes strange hangs and BSODS at times.Seamonkey, Firefox and IE are all I use as I don't like Edge much either.
 
Peter, add this parameter to the Google Chrome shorcut: –disable-gpu, see if that makes a difference. This prevents Google Chrome from using GPU features.

Yes Rich, I agree with all those comments about Chrome especially the hangs. I am a hunt and peck typist so I use Chrome's mic which I find better than Edge. The average person types 40 wpm so I am around 25.

I remember you using Sea Monkey years ago - I think you said you use the suite back then, but could wrong.

 

I never keep shortcuts on my desktop and just tried to make one with Chrome but could not.  Could you please tell me how to make a short cut and add that command to it - sorry, would if I could?  

TY

Peter

Just edit the link you use now for Chrome (open it's Properties). In the target field, add the –disable-gpu parameter. Click Apply then OK.

 

Or, click Start, find Google Chrome, right click on it, select Send to then pick Desktop.
