64bit asus. 32gig ram, ssd for apps & OS, i7 x 8(4real)processors. win10pro, up to date security, running minimum tasks/software at once etc etc.. never peaking ram, though CPU & disk (mostly CPU) often peak & generally get intermittent gui freezes e.g. not responding if click too quick (from one thing to the next).

my question is, what common places, logs should i check (and of course where i know what to look for within logs, or settings)

i only ask as i have looked at all the menu based/control panel options etc. and have reduced everything with performance in mind….

suggestions please please?

So, I prefer computer cleaning software like Ninja TuneUp which helps to clean all the crap files in minutes.

@Dave have your tried Total Commander? You’ll have a dual pane view and you can open different drives on each pane. You can also view thumbnails or a tree view.

If you defrag anyway your drive will reduce performance.

With today’s cheap ram prices there is no reason to run less than 4gb but even 8gb isn’t overkill.
