I never found an explanation regarding why this was somehow adjusted, because I can guarantee I had never been to this particular settings page before on any computer. That was 2 months ago, and both computers are operating at speeds not seen before, and notta one program has crashed on either. It took approximately 3 1/8 minutes to complete for each computer, something that made me instantly dubious it would do anything. A post which offered a suggestion which I had never seen before. Then, one glorious day, I found a post on some help-desk forum board, somewhere I can’t remember. It was tremendously frustrating and I couldn’t find answers anywhere, that despite my black belt in Google-Fu! For me the problem extended to any software which was demanded a heavy processing and/or memory load. I was having the same issue on both my WIN10 desktop and laptop.
