I sure would remove most of those from the startup and call them up only when you use them. I personally see no reason for Avast Clean-Up to be...
Do other computers in the house see this slow down? What other applications do you have running with Windows?
We don't know what you are paying for so don't know if those download and upload speeds are what you should be getting. That said, there are many...
Yeah and it is wise to be concerned there. And for sure, it is not uncommon for a computer to look like it is locked up, but in reality, it is...
While "graceful" shutdowns are always preferable, some times it is just necessary to force a shutdown if a system is locked up. And while it is...
Thanks, Neil. :)
I will point out again that there are over 900 million Windows 10 devices out there (it's actually over 1 billion now - according to Microsoft!)....
It is probably more accurate to say they are not "critical". They still could be security related. And for sure, they could be important for the...
Hey Robert, I sure have a different opinion than Christer. First and foremost, Windows 10 is not Windows 7. W7 is over 10 years old. W10 is...
If your computer is working fine now, and you don't see any reason to go back further than the last backup, then sure you can delete all the older...
I've never tried 8..8.8.8. I figured Google already knows too much about me. They don't need to know everything I do on the Internet. In any...
I agree with Arie - try setting them in your router instead of your computer. The main advantage to doing it there is that is the only place you...
Fresh batteries?
FTR, Windows 10 is not going away any time in the foreseeable future. However, "earlier" versions of Windows 10 are no longer being supported and...
I agree to start with making sure the interior is clean of heat-trapping dust first. That said, the temps shown are good. Then one stick of RAM at...
Well, it sure is one of those first and obvious but often overlooked things to try with just about any odd behavior.
Great! Glad it is sorted out. Unless your security was way out of date, I suspect just rebooting fixed it. Being turned off for "several hours"...
Agree to all of the the above. If none of that helps, please tell us about your system. As Robert reveals, we don't even know if this is a...
I have never had Windows Update force a reboot on me while I was using my computer. I have been prompted to reboot, but I always have the option...
If more than one USB port, try a different port. I would also go with a different USB cable. Have you tried power cycling the Gateway router?
