    PC check-up

    Hi @Malnutrition or another forum member,

    As mentioned in another topic, I have opened a new topic for a check of my own PC. Sometimes my PC lags, no matter what game or resolution. I have attached the FRST logs and see some limitations.

    I’m not sure if it’s these restrictions that are causing the problems. I also work in IT myself and I know almost everything about it and the last step is a complete reinstallation of Windows, but I want to postpone this until I do an upgrade soon. The hardware currently installed does not show any hardware defects or errors.

    I have run various scans such as Roquekiller, ADWCleaner and Malwarebytes, but they all indicate that they have not found any threats. I’m still a bit unfamiliar with FRST, which is why I’m opening this topic.

    I’m looking forward to you’re reply, thanks in advance! [IMG alt=“”]https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...ault/smile.png[/IMG]

              Yes… three of the 4 requested logs. When you run Frst, it produces two logs. Frst.txt and addition.txt. You missed the addition.txt log. ???

                          My apologies for the late reply, have been very busy and couldn’t use the pc. The pc is working a lot better, i havent any crashes/glitches anymore when i used the pc but, i didn’t use the pc very often and for a very long time. But i suppose it’s better , so many thanks for the help! The only thing i experience after the fixed is that my taskbar dont show up or takes very long time before all icons have been loaded. Any suggestions?

                            Clearing the prefetch will cause things to load a bit slower.

                            Download KpRM
                            Save to Desktop
                            Check Delete Tools’
                            Check Delete Restore points.
                            Create Restore point.
                            Click delete quarantines.
                            Then click run.
