A customer's computer is slower than the 7 year itch and has always been that way. I've worked on it several times over the past couple of years or so and I even set it up for them when they bought it. Takes almost 10 minutes for the disk activity to subside after bootup and any kind of scan such as for viruses/malware takes much longer than it seems it should. Performance just seems to be sluggish in general but mostly anything needing to access disk.
I've checked startup in Task Manager and nothing suspicious there as well as processes. Nothing suspicious. I'm still doing different scans for malware but nothing noteworth so far. CPU activity is minimal and memory use looks normal.
This an HP AIO with i5 3330S CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a 2TB Seagate 7200 rpm disk. Disk is about 30% full. Windows 10. So it's a fairly capable machine.
Here are the results of some hard disk testing I did. Does anything seem abnormal here with the disk performance? Looks like to me HD Tune Pro is showing some wacky and erratic dips in performance.
I'm wondering if there are some broken Windows system files causing this? I'm running sfc /scannow as I type this.
