W8.1 Freezing

<< < (12/12)

Boggin:
That one seems to be a bit mix 'n match as well with it working for some but not others.

Which method have you successfully used or haven't you gotten around to it yet ?

mrwoof:
I view the SSD as suspect and plan to replace it. continuing to read up..
Any tips for optimizing w8.1. I see Win Store +++ that I want to remove, shave down services / features / unticked Indexing  on C /start up etc
Disc activity high on start up, have installed "Everything" search & disabled Win search in services. Your thoughts on disabling "Superfetch"?

Boggin:
When you install programs they tend to add their entry to the Startup menu and aren't really necessary and they unnecessarily take up memory.

SuperFetch isn't necessary for a SSD and can impact on it because of the multiple writes - according to https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/delete-disable-windows-prefetch/ so it would be advisable to disable it.
