How this is the proper forum. Running W8.1. My system has been slow for a few months. A little slow on bootup, VERY slow after 2-3 days.
For example, after 2-3 days, it takes 2-3 minutes for Word to open. 4 minutes for an email to fully open. Pushing the Windows button can take 3-5 minutes to get the Windows screen. Reboot takes me back to 'a little slow.'
I ran the last week with resmon open and watched RAM use. The biggest culprit it Firefox, which, after 2-3 days takes up 1.8-1.9G of my 4G RAM. I've since gone to using IE. 2dn biggest user is JAVA, which uses 0.7-0.9G RAM. Is this normal? If not, how do I find the cause?
