    I'm actually running a full scan right now, so that's why it is taking up so much currently. I'll get that image up in a sec

    ok i see, that makes sense so .... everything in the task manager is fine from what im comparing the normal rates to...
    i would try a reboot after windows defender. scvhost is high but i would think because of the windows defender, if windows defender finds things. let me know. I would use malwarebytes since there virus,etc. is bigger and more up to date. but thats me.

    Well running it in safe mode the computer runs completely fine.. idk what is going on.

    wel then if it runs fine there, i would think off the top of my head, program hogging resources. or to little space on hard drive. i say that because is you have less them 1gb of space it well slow down. if not then thats not it. safe mode uses lik about 500mbs at most for running while regular mode is about 2gbs. this is the paging and areas for decompression and compression. if not then the only thing i can think of is windows was acting up on the first boot or you have malware and spyware and windows defender didnt find it and neither did MSE. and if thats the case use malwarebytes to see if it finds anything. its free so dont worry

    malwarbytes didn't find anything. This is def not a virus or anything like that. Meh idk what else to do, stupid old computer. I tried running windows update and it's not working

    Then i do have one question. Was there a update you might have had the last time it work right?
  8. Bisley Newcomer, in training Posts: 27

    No, my windows update just says "An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer" (error 80072EFD). It just won't even let me search for the updates. oddly enough I looked at the history for updates, and there was one yesterday that I didn't even know about (Hotfix KB981889).

    I think it is time to format and re-install Windows, all the Windows Updates and drivers, and MSE with a temp file cleaner. Going on-line any length of time, with no anti-malware protection put you in this situation

    That's why I have no malware or spyware correct? Ran three different programs and none detect it. Thats definitely not problem. It's more than likely a CPU hardware problem.

    I have run into a bug like this before. The lsass.exe is running rather high in read/write bytes. The solution to my problem, which had symptoms very similar to what you are experiencing is below. BTW it won't harm anything or change any system settings.

    Create a new user profile. Save it and log out of your current one. Log into the new profile and allow it to finish setting things up. Run a few programs, it doesn't matter which. Close them. Log out and then log back into your old profile. This should allow you to reset your system as what may well be happening is your user profile is corrupting. These symptoms will reappear and the ultimate solution is to copy all necessary files etc to the new profile or at least share access so you will be able to use them in the new profile.

    Reformat

    I go for reformatting and reinstall the system to solve the problem... that would make the machine runs faster.
