Windows 8.1 Slow Application Performance

[Bakuchris]

Hello again, I recently installed Microsoft Windows 8.1 but I'm noticing something very odd, I'm starting to get bad application performance everything I run seems to run slow like my hardware is not powerful enough though when I ran it before I did not encounter this problem. I checked the task manager though it clams nothing is really taking up alot of memory, though when I run Adobe Premiere, Firefox (Unoffical x64 Build), and AmaRecTV (playing my Nintendo Wii) usually I am able to run all three without any problems at all, rebooting does not solve the problem it's still slow.

 

Though If I do nothing and leave the application running, everything seems fast I should mention.

What's the specs of your computer? Have you tried updating all the drivers as well?

Have you toyed with power management options? If you haven't, do.

what power mangement can affect how slow my computer is, I had no idea.

 

My specs are these:

11 GB of RAM

60 GB SSD Drive

2 x 1TB Hard Disks

ATI Radeon HD 4200 (Built into my motherboard)

Have you installed drivers for your computer?

Well It was some power management software by my motherboard doing it I believe, things seem fast now.

which motherboard do you use and which software did you remove?

[Bakuchris]

It's a Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H and the software was Gigabyte Easysaver (Version B9.1214.1), the Easysaver software is not very new they haven't updated it years I believe.

ok, thanks. Maybe this helps other users who may also have the slowness.

Thats a good idea MagicAndre.
