Hi. My laptop is having some performance problems since this morning. Since i disabled driver signature verification, did a disk cleanup(7.5gb data deleted) and installed a few updates my laptop slowed down a bit. Its not something big buy it annoys me because my system takes 1-2 minutes to boot now and zelda unreal engine runs at low FPS unless the laptop is plugged in the ac adapter. What should i do : /

Is upgrading to windows 10 pro or downgeading to windows 7 a solution for this?
Im really annoyed btw

If you have a mechanical HDD instead of SSD, you should probably run the disk defragmenter. (I recommend Defraggler over the built-in one.)

Incidentally, why did you disable driver signing? That's usually only needed if you're writing your own driver, and doesn't affect performance at all.

Check your power options. It must've been reset so that it uses less power while unplugged, resulting in a performance decrease.

Correct though like @GerbilSoft said go ahead and scan your HDD you might also want to do a scan as you might got a bad driver.

You probably have set "Battery: Power save" in either GPU options or Windows battery thing.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
