Did you double-click on your computer? The method of getting the culprit is here!

It seems that computer performance issues are an ongoing problem. Although Xiao Bian keeps offering solutions, as soon as Microsoft releases a patch, new problems tend to arise. After installing the recent Windows 10 quality update KB4074588 last week, my system started experiencing sluggishness again — it's like Kakakakakaka carding all over again.

After some thorough investigation, I found out that several "unnecessary" Windows 10 services were causing the slowdown. If you're noticing high CPU or memory usage and your PC feels slow, you can open the Task Manager and go to the Services tab. Click on the relevant service and right-click to select "Go to Details" for more information.

If you notice that "svchost.exe" is using excessive resources, it's likely the main culprit. However, before disabling any service, make sure it’s not a core Windows component. Some services, like the Help and Support or Online Search features, are optional and can be safely turned off without affecting your system's stability.

Now, let's get to the point. Right-click on "This PC" and choose "Manage." Navigate to the "Services" tab. Look for services such as "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry," "Diagnostic Execution Service," "Diagnostic Policy Service," "Diagnostic Service Host," and "Diagnostic System Host." Disabling these should help improve performance without impacting normal use.

These services are mainly responsible for collecting user data and running diagnostics. Turning them off won’t harm your system. If your PC still feels slow across all versions of Windows 10, it might be time to consider upgrading. With the new school season approaching, many e-commerce platforms and brands will offer promotions (even if they’re still pricey). Keep an eye out for deals and stay tuned for more updates.
