    I just looked up how to check if trim is enabled, and according to my computer, it is. It also looks like it was re-trimmed about 9 days ago, so I'm not sure if that will solve the problem.

    I don't use a hard drive, I use an SSD(860 Evo 500gb), so I'm not sure if defragging will help the situation. I ran the chckdsk, but it did not fix it either. The ssd hass 70 gigs left.

    Hello everyone, I have had this problem for a few months now, and have finally gotten tired of trying solutions I read online that have not been working. Here's the issue: File explorer crashes a lot and is often extremely slow when it does work. Usually it will work fine when I start up my computer, but often the problem starts up when I use any program to access files on my computer (ie. Choosing exporting destination in FL studio). I notice when it happens usually because all of the icons on my desktop suddenly start using the default icon instead of previewing their contents (Folders will just show empty folders, and any other program/file type will just be the blank paper icon). Trying to access the file explorer from the task bar becomes impossible because i have to wait for it to open up for a few minutes. The only way I can access my folders by this point is through clicking on an existing one on my desktop, which opens right away for the most part. Some places seem inaccessible like the "my pc" button, because it will not ever load when I click on it. These places will just have the green loading bar (where the file path is displayed) never quite get to full. Right clicking anywhere becomes a deathtrap. If I wanna right click to get a files' properties, or create a new folder on my desktop, I am greeted by the loading wheel on my mouse. At that point, if I click anywhere on my desktop, file explorer will crash and then instantly reboot (and not fix itself in the process). This problem seems to stop occassionally for a few minutes at a time if I don't touch anything for a while, but for the most part is a major problem anytime I want to use my computer. WHAT I HAVE TRIED: -Disabling all context menus -Resetting my folders -Clearing File Explorer history -doing sfc /scannow Most tutorials seem to repeat all the other ones I have seen, and I'm not sure they are exactly addressing the same problem that I am currently having. If you have had this problem and have found a fix for it, please let me know what to do or link me to a solution that you have found works for you. Let me know if any of you need more information. Thanks, Earn

    I'll give it a shot. I have signed up for insider builds. For some reason my computer is running smoothly right now after this start up. I likely will still update when I have the build available. Also, lots of my apps have been logged out of, is this wierd?

    Update: I have tried updating drivers and some minor windows updates and nothing has helped. Complete restarts have been made and still nothing

    Well it seems I don't have the option to roll back due to the last update being over 10 days old.

    Alright, I'll try reverting and see if it fixes it

    Hello everyone, Yesterday, i started up my computer to find that it was running slowly. As I was watching videos, chrome became unresponsive. Not long after all of my computer programs became unresponsive and I couldn't load anything up. Even my whole computer was freezing up; like desktop and mouse freezing. I restarted my pc and the problem persisted, I checked my ram usage and found it at 100%. I checked task manager, and no programs seemed to be taking up more than 200 mb of ram. I tried just re-inserting my my ram and that seemed to temporarily settle down my ram usage, but it didn't fix all the lag and program crashes. Eventually, the usage has gone back up. I've waited a day and restarted. Nothing has changed. Right now I'm posting on my phone because my computer is just frozen at this point. I would appreciate any help you all can give. If you need more information just ask. Thanks, Earn

    Hey y'all, I watched Linus's video on the Lenovo Flex this morning, and also happened to be in the market for a budget laptop. I started looking around and found the ThinkPad E595 with a Ryzen 7 3700U for only about $580 dollars. This seemed like a great deal to me with all of its features (15.6 in IPS screen, 8gb ram, etc). I was wondering if the deal is actually as good as I made it out to be. It seems to be a huge upgrade from the Flex shown in Linus's video. I can't find too many reviews for it so I'm not sure about the quality of the product. Any input on it would greatly appreciated. If you happen to own the laptop that would be a cool bonus! Here is the link to the amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-20NF0018US-Ryzen-3700U-15-6In/dp/B07SH7JDJL/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=Lenovo+20NF0018US+TS+Tp+E595+AMD+Ryze&qid=1573956429&s=electronics&sr=1-1-fkmr0 Also another concern I have is about storage expand-ability, If anyone knows anything about if I can expand it without an external drive that would be great information. Thanks everyone, -Earn

    Thank you so much for your reply. I think I'm going to go with the Pixel 3axl, because it has a the 3700mah battery over the regular model. I think I can save the extra 70 dollars or so and put that towards something else. Like you said, I'm planning on keeping the phone for a while and will appreciate a lengthy support cycle from google. Knowing me I might try to wait and swoop in for a deal for like 10 dollars off, so I don't think I'm in too much of a rush to buy the phone yet. If I have a change of heart or someone else chimes in with something to completely change my mind I still have some wiggle room. Thanks again

    Hey y'all, I'm planning on getting a new phone because my axon 7 is about to kick the bucket anytime soon. I want to go with a cheaper phone and saw that the pixel 3a xl is a good fit for my needs. Right now, the S10e is currently $550 dollars on Amazon, and I am wondering if it worth the extra $70 dollars for the upgraded hardware. My use for the phone probably won't surpass youtube and pokemon go on the occasion. The 3a xl apparently still has the better camera according to some reviews I read, and the battery life is much higher. I feel like the only drawback to getting the pixel would be that the quality of material used on the phone is not as protective as the s10e. But I think I could just get a nice case and screen protector. If anyone has input on how much better the battery life is on the pixel and the difference between the cameras that would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, any input would be all I need to make a decision. Thanks!

    I have 16 gb of memory, and my paging file is set to 49152 MB (I haven't changed it since I built this pc)

    Here's my situation. As of a few days ago, my computer was working perfectly normally and was completely fine. For the past few weeks, I have been running this Minecraft server for my friends and I to play on. A few days ago, all of a sudden, my chrome browser begins to have issues while my server is running. It gives me the "aw snap" message and crashes. I thought that this might have been a temporary issue, and decided to shut down the server for the day and restart my computer. Upon restarting, everything seemed to work fine when I was running chrome with a few tabs between my monitors. I decided to play a game and watch a video at the same time and discovered more problems. The game would either crash after a while or chrome would give the error message again and crash itself. Fast forward to today, and the problem has just amplified. Games won't load up on their own without crashing or bugging out, and I can barely even keep one tab of chrome up without it crashing. I am making sure to copy this post every few seconds just in case chrome crashes while I am writing it. I tested to see what would happen if I booted up my server again, and was prompted with the message "Error occurred during initialization of VM, Could not reserve enough space for object heap". Also, sometimes chrome said it could not reserve enough memory for the page. Yet despite all of this, my memory usage was still only around 35%. I can hardly launch anything now and it's really frustrating because I build it a month ago. A quick note is that I had this same problem on my old pc when I ran a server, but only figured that it was just my computer finally biting the dust after 5 years. Now I think it's a problem with the server but have found no reports on a similar issue anywhere else. I am posting this here to ask if anyone has had a similar problem with their memory or computer. Thanks for the help in advance, Earn
