Hey Guys!
 
I have a very bizarre problem here which i haven't been able to solve for a couple of months now, so I'm hoping some of you can help me out.
So basically my computer had been running very slow and sometimes even crashing lately, so I wondered what was going on. I investigated a bit and found out a process called SearchFilterHost.exe is using up all of my RAM (as seen in the screenshot below).
 

(I have 18GB of RAM)
 
I researched a little about that process and came to find that it's used for indexing hard drives. I have one 3TB and one 2TB harddrive aswell as a 200GB SSD, so I see why indexing could take a little time and RAM. The problem is that it doesn't seem to care about other processes or even the physical limitations of my computer, so it happened a few times that Windows just displayed an alert saying "Your computer doesn't have enough RAM" and shut itself down.
 
I disabled all locations in the indexing settings already and it's still appearing from time to time. 
 
Anyways, I hope someone can find a solution to this very annoying problem!
 
Thanks in advance for answers.

Systems with high power requirements can still charge from USB-C, although the charging speed will be reduced if the port doesn't provide as much power as the native charger. Also, there are a number of low-profile chargers on Amazon with interchangeable tips, but I don't know of any with greater than 100 watt capability. 
 
I just realized I didn't address your original comment. Charging is possible via multiple ports if the system is built to support it (remember that Asus behemoth that requires two power bricks, and a Pelican case to transport it?), but I haven't seen any actually set up that way for USB-C. It would be a fiasco for manufacturers to start requiring multiple charging connections. I have no doubt the eventually all laptops will SUPPORT USB-C charging, but I don't forsee them actually REQUIRING it, except for lower-power systems. Except Apple products. Who knows what they will try to get their customers to do.

I’d think it would be fine. I was under the impression that the phone is smart enough to determine how much power it can take, so using an overpowered charger wouldn’t be an issue. 
 
I know you can use a MacBook Pro charger on a MacBook Air without issue (which is rated for ~double the power output of the air charger). Worst case scenario the phone doesn’t charge.

and then there's the warranty problem. If the stock charger broke the device, the responsibility is certainly on the brand that made the laptop (or the customer, one of the two). No doubt. If it's a 3rd party charger though, who would take the blame? The customer, more often than not. There's just too many reasons for the sellers to declare 'it's not their fault'.

Most of them are BS

Oh, well that settles it.

Until they come up with usb-d that support 2x the wattage, i.e. 200W. there will be no usb-c gaming laptop.

That's good. Different brands (or even same brand different models) can have different voltage supplied to the batteries, and the chargers arent designed to be adaptive in that way. The last thing you want is too much voltage into your battery.

Have you ever been able to play 4k on that card? It could be that the drivers simply don't support it. I would guess it's a software/driver issue rather than hardware. 

4k is 2x taller and 2x wider than 1080p. That mean it's a 2by 2 square meaning you can fit a total of 4 1080p screens in a 4k screen based on pixels. So really 4k 30 would be 30x4 meaning 120fps 1080p. 4k 60 would be 240 fps 1080p.

Who said that?
In some cases it just wont be practical.
 

Even with USB C, laptops can still have their dedicated charging ports.

I've actually been watching this thread for awhile and can say I have safely charged my s8+ with no problems with the 45 watt stealth charger.

This site says that "The Razer Blade Stealth power adapter offers 5 volts @ 3 amps (15 watts), 12 volts @ 3 amps (36 watts), and 20 volts @ 2.25 amps (45 watts) power options"

Terms like "2K" and "4K" don’t refer to specific resolutions. They are resolution categories. They are used to classify resolutions based on horizontal pixel count. "2K" refers to resolutions that have around 2,000 (2K) pixels horizontally. Examples include:
1920 × 1080 (16:9) 1920 × 1200 (16:10) 2048 × 1080 (≈19:10) 2048 × 1152 (16:9) 2048 × 1536 (4:3) All of these are examples of 2K resolutions. 1920×1080 is a 2K resolution. 2048×1080 is another 2K resolution. 2560×1440 is not a 2K resolution, it is a 2.5K resolution.
 
"2.5K" refers to resolutions around 2,500 (2.5K) pixels horizontally. For example:
2304 × 1440 (16:10) 2400 × 1350 (16:9) 2560 × 1080 (64:27 / ≈21:9) 2560 × 1440 (16:9) 2560 × 1600 (16:10) All of these are examples of 2.5K resolutions.
 
So why do people call 2560×1440 "2K"?
 
Because when "4K" was new to the consumer market, people would ask: "What's 4K?", and usually the response was "it’s four times as many pixels as 1080p". Unfortunately most people misinterpreted this and assumed that the "4" in "4K" actually stood for "how many times 1080p" the resolution was, and since 2560×1440 is popularly known as being "twice as many pixels as 1080p" (it's 1.77 times, but close enough), some people decided to start calling it "2K", and other people heard that and repeated it.
 
While it’s true that 4K UHD (3840×2160) is four times as many pixels as 1920×1080, that isn’t why it’s called "4K". It’s called 4K because it's approximately 4,000 pixels horizontally. The fact that it’s also 4 × 1080p is just a coincidence, and that pattern doesn’t continue with other resolutions.
 
For example, the 5K resolution featured in the Retina 5K iMac, 5120×2880, is equivalent to four 2560×1440 screens. If 1440p is "2K" because it’s twice as many pixels as 1080p, then wouldn’t four of them together be called "8K"? (Well, technically 7K since like I said 1440p is 1.77 times not 2 times 1080p, but that’s beside the point). We don’t call it 7K or 8K. We call it 5K, because it's around 5,000 pixels horizontally. It has nothing to do with "how many times 1080p" the resolution is.
 
In addition, an actual 8K resolution such as 8K UHD (7680×4320) is equivalent to four 4K UHD screens. A single 4K UHD screen is four times as many pixels as 1080p, so four of those together is sixteen times as many pixels as 1080p. But 7680×4320 isn't called "16K", it’s called "8K", because it’s approximately 8,000 pixels horizontally. Again it doesn't have anything to do with "how many times 1080p" the resolution is.
 
So although 2560×1440 is around twice as many pixels as 1080p, it is not called "2K", because that isn’t where these names come from. Since 2560×1440 is approximately 2,500 pixels horizontally, it falls into the 2.5K classification.

I wouldn't expect a whole world of difference
Samsung 850 EVO, 500G 2.5", average power 4.7W, idle 50mW WD Blue, 500G 2.5", average R/W 1.4W, idle 55mW, sleep .13mW You wouldn't lose battery life but gain more speed

I saved about 0.5 W moving from a HDD to an SSD in my 2011 laptop.  Worked out to an extra 30 mins at idle on a full charge

Since this is the first post you see when you google the related question, I'll put this here:
