Ever since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, my computer has been laggy

[dragon3025]

Every program I use will lag every 30 to 5 minutes, and I have to wait for it to respond. My computer was fast and doing great before the update. Is there a fix for this, and if not is it possible to remove their update (and their fix update that was supposed to fix it).

When your computer freezed, did you notice anything strange in Task Manager, like the disk usage reaching 99/100%? I'm having a similar problem.

yeah this too might be the problem

I see you have 4 GB of RAM. You might want to update to 8 GB. It's not that expensive, and it usually helps this kind of performance problem.

Good luck.

I'll have to see. My PC doesn't freeze completely, it just freezes for about few seconds to a minute, and it does it often. My PC never does this and usually handles things fast, but after this update installed, it started doing this.

EDIT: Okay, my disk usage did spike up when it froze just a second ago.

I plan to someday, but I can't right now.


If uninstalling the anniversary update and it's fix updates is faster and possible, I'd prefer to do that.

Well they just came out with another update, and I still get program lagging every now and then.

Bump

I seem to be able to snap my pc out of its freeze by using ctrl+alt+del. It opens the menu for it pretty fast, then I back out and my computer isn't frozen anymore. Still I'd prefer it if it didn't freeze at all.

EDIT: Okay it only works half the time. When it doesn't work it frozen for a while.

I don't think that's it, my computer has always worked fast without any problem. It wasn't until the "Anniversary Update" that I started having this problem. If you Google "anniversary update problems" you'll see that I'm not the only one. I've seen that one of the problems is the PC freezing up completely, but my computer doesn't freeze completely. I haven't found a solution by Googling it though.
