Plagued with weird problems

Yesterday, Windows updated to the "Creator's Update" for some reason. I didn't think much of it, and I was looking forward to some of the features anyway. It updated, and I played some KSP for a bit, then shut it off. When I went to  click "Shut Down", I found "Update and Shut Down". I thought it was strange because I just updated but I clicked it. Fast-forward to today: I turn on my PC and it takes 5 min to boot. I then managed to get to the login screen, which seemed normal. I logged in, then the screen went black and a box appeared in the corner that said "Personalized Settings". My old laptop did that all the time, but I've never seen that on my PC before. When I eventually landed on the desktop, I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to Task Manager, which took 45 seconds. When Task Manager popped up, my disk usage was at 100%. Thinking it was malware, I went to control panel to do a scan. Windows Defender was not there, like it had been deleted. What's going on?

I had this problem on my desktop 1 year ago, i had 4 gb ram and the exact same thing happened to me, i upgrade to 16 gb and the problem disappeared, im guessing the problem is you dont have that much ram so the computer has to use your hard drive or another possibility is that your storage is full try emptying some stuff, i dont have that much knowledge about computers so please dont go ham on me, i hope this helps you,

It seems your hardware doesn't completely agree with the latest updates done to windows (Or the system requirements have increased)

These are the reasons people are starting to jump ship to Linux. Updates that brick your computer (or just make it misbehave or cause program incompatibilities) don't get shoved down your throat when on Linux.

 

Somewhere their might be an option to roll back to an earlier version of windows. (I don't know where it is, sorry) Roll it back (basically uninstall the creators updates) and see if the laptop's behavior changes for the better.

Guides & Tutorials:

PROXMOX - Rebuilding ZFS RAID rpool After Disk Failure

Mass Deploying Customized Windows 10/11 Installs

Building a GNU/Linux Based Windows Deployment Server

GNU/Linux Installer Server: Installation & Configuration

How to: Use (i)PXE to Install Windows from a Network

Why Memorize IP's When You Can Self-Host DNS Instead?

Ventoy - The USB Multi-Boot Utility!

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

I had 8 Gb and I upgraded to 12 a couple of weeks ago. Do you think the extra RAM is the problem?

and also check storage, if your full it might be slowing the computer down
