I know I didn't provide much information apart from the low usage and my PC configuration, but I'll be alert to this post and provide anything you require in order to troubleshoot this problem perfmon, more benchmarking, whatever is needed. To sum up, it (appearently) seems not to be a hardware issue, since Linux works perfectly, but a Windows 10 problem that survives a fresh reinstallation ( ). During that benchmark, none of the specs worked much higher than the limits I've said before. A proof of it is this a benchmark I run yesterday, that said that my PC is worse than 99% of the ones that had been scanned with PCMark10 tool, which is surreal. The problem isn't also related to CPU/GPU/disk/memory usage, since those values doesn't get higher than 20% / 10% / 10% / 25%, respectively (might the problem be that those values can't go higher even though they should?). We might be reaching the current state of my problem: I have a fresh Windows 10 unusable that can't be reinstalled again (because I could lose again the boot to the Linux system, and it was shown that reinstalling Windows doesn't solve anything). Since you would be asking for it, it couldn't also be the SSDs: when I reinstalled both OS, I changed them: W10 where Linux were and viceversa. When I did that, I've entered in Linux and saw that it was performing as always, so I assumed (don't know if correctly) that it couldn't be a hardware problem, since all the components that supply Windows also supply Linux.

However, the Windows installation smashed the BIOS UEFI entries and I lost access to the Linux OS, which I also had to reinstall. Surprisingly, this step didn't solve the problem, and the fresh installed Windows 10 continued performing so slow. The next step I followed was doing the backup of the sensitive data located at the Windows SSD, and reinstalling it from scratch. Sadly, one day weeks ago, my Windows 10 OS (I do also have Linux on dual boot) started to misbehave, becoming so laggy and slow.įirst of all, I thought it could be a virus, so I scanned with Kaspersky Total Security the full system and disks but no malware was detected. Moreover, it didn't showed a problem like this ever, it has always behaved so well. I might not have the best PC out there, but it was great enough when I assembled it (4 years ago, it is neither not that old). W10 Version: What winver says: Version 1909 (SO compilation 18363.1237), what system information says: Version 3.OS: Windows 10 Home + Linux Mint 20 / Dual Boot.Disks: 2 SSDs (one for W10 OS, other for Unix OS) + 2 HDDs.Before everything, I'll post my specs and how my PC is configured: I came here after leaving my PC in a couple of repairment stores and not finding a solution for a problem that has been drowning my vital energy for the past month.
