I do not know, but it might have something to do with all the updates that get downloaded.... More parts of to the OS, the slower its going to run.
Anyway, speaking of the problems with the windows OS I'm in college atm in an EE major. I'm thinking about trying to learn enough to make a program that could let people control all the parts that the windows OS is made up of. I'm guessing this could help people eliminate problems in a cleaner manner.

Hmm... I know some of the larger factors are files getting disorganized, the hard drive getting fragmented, non useful processes like crapware running in the background... I don't think updates have anything to do with it. They generally don't add new features but rather modify them or replace them with new ones.

Yes i believe what Dark basic dude said about updates. I have a question though everytime you boot your computer does windows save a data file some where? Because it seems as if you only use sleep mode slow down on the computer dosnt happen as fast.

*You should email a mod and request a threadlock before you get slapped.

You double posted the threads yourself, as I saw both threads were hidden for moderation. I thought I deleted one of them and approved the other, but I probably approved both by accident. But the original question remains: why make both threads in the first place?
