I've been disabling the indexing service since they first added it (98?
XP?). I never saw the point of slowing down the system at all times in
order to speed up a search feature that I only use occasionally.

I used to have to kill indexing all the time on whatever we had before
10 (7 or 8 I guess). Not a problem with 10. I think it must monitor
resources and slow or stop indexing when other more important things
are happening.

It is an older (2nd gen I7) with 8GB ram. I've seen forums with the
issues about the file indexing. I'm betting that is the issue with
hibernation and everything. There is a fix, but it is rather involved.
Just haven't had much time to mess with it.

The WIndows10 update from last Tuesday (Dec, 6) broke some wifi

They had to manually run ipconfig /renew to get online, as they were
connecting to the WIFI, but not requesting an IP address.

Mine is very quick, even a cold bootup is something like 10 seconds,
so your problem seems strange. I have a fairly new i7 laptop, but
still, 3 minutes to come out of hibernation isn’t normal.
The problem I’m having is that periodically processes will start
stalling, first thing to go is network connectivity, and then a
shutdown or restart requires using the power button. Mostly happens
when using WiFi on battery. I suspect it’s a driver, hardware or
application problem though, not Windows 10. I’ve applied all the
BIOS and driver updates from Dell though.

How much RAM do you have? My Win10 machines all have 16GB and run
smooth. It takes like 2GB just to run.

I wish I could go back. Maybe it's my machine, but it has become a
dog since the upgrade. It takes 3 minutes to come out of hibernation
and many times when I click the start button to launch a program it
doesn't even respond. Trying to sort a directory by date seems like
it has to reindex the entire drive before showing me the files. It's
only a laptop I use occasionally, but man it has sucked so far.

Yup .. Microsoft is getting better … Win10 isn’t that bad at all -
it’s almost starting to become as reliable and solid as Mac has
been for years ;)

Windows 10 is turning out to be pretty solid. shut off cortana and
hope it stays off and don't install another av, it seems rock
solid. China probably pwns it, but at least it's not Russia

I recently discovered that when I replace a clients computer and
the new hard drive isn't much better than the old one, i can just
move the old drive to the new computer and boot it. Windows 10
will install all the new drivers. Then all I have to do (if
necessary) is activate Windows 10 and viola. No more needing to
transfer all the clients data and settings because they're
already there.
Thank you,

holy cow. the old man has a cheap gateway laptop from best bu
thats a few years old. so of course the hard drive is cheap. its
a windows 8 machine that went through the free upgrade.
i used the microsoft tool to make a windows 10 install usb
this has been the cleanest OS reinstall ive ever done. its
fairly elegant for keyboard only install, like they knew the
native drivers wouldnt make cheap touchpads work, little to no
tab arrowing on base install, skip microsoft sign in and it was
already activated on the hardware ID, sweet
Now just updating drivers, painless stuff. Way to go Microsoft
