Windows has detected your computers performance is slow

[huiol09]

I get this error from time to time, especially when i game and alt+tab:

"Windows has detected your computers performance is slow"

And even worse, sometimes i get a popup telling me that the colors was switched back to windows default, so i get a nasty skin without Aero

I don't understand why windows think my computer is slow... I got a core i7 4790k with 16gb of ram, a very fast Samsung Pro SSD and a $600 graphic card..

How can i desactivate this sh*t ?

First up[ anarchoi mate we need some more system specs - no offence but I am surprised that someone who seems to know what they are on about hasn't done this yet.

Anyway I would suggest without knowing exactly what you have got set up that you update all the drivers for starters and maybe run these

ADW download frombleeping computer delete any rubbish found with the malware scans

Already done that. I'm not a noob.

All drivers are up to date and i have ran anti-virus scans and malwarebyte scans.

I posted my system specs, i don't see the point but oh well..

Hmm well I missed that (usually the specs are down in the System spec link at the bottom of your post) but if you know the motherboard then you can go look for the drivers then - good luck

 

[huiol09]

My drivers are up to date.

Ok well like I said try the scans apart from MBAM if nothing comes up you have lost nothing and just for the record I am only trying to help as you have been posted for some time with no replies. I am no expert and you do not like what I suggest please let me know and I will unsubscribe form this thread.

Are you sure that is a legitimate message from Windows itself?

That's a direct quote? It's not punctuated correctly. I've never even heard of such a message and am wondering if it's something else delivering the message--not Windows.

Have you done thorough malware and anti-virus scans?

 

[huiol09]

Yes it is a legitimate message from Windows, but i have windows in french so i tried to translate it for the forum. The message appears in the system tray.

And yes i scanned many times for viruses and malwares. 100% sure this is not the problem

 

[huiol09]

i googled my problem and found this. It is exactly the same messages i am getting

What graphics card do you have? Try turning off visual effects like shadows and fading etc. If the message goes away and stays away, then your graphics driver is telling windows incorrectly that it cannot handle it. I have seen this before and It is always due to a bad driver or not having the latest driver. If you have the latest graphics driver, search google to see if others are having the problem with that driver and gpu, then go back to an older driver and see if that helps.

The most common time I have seen that message is when your vram is being consumed to it's limits, go into task manager and click on memory tab to order by which processes are taking so much of your vram and end them. And also if this is a REAL alert from windows I bet you can also just startup msconfig and go to startup and stop all those programs and processes from booting up with the pc, thus not have too many processes consuming so much. Here's a video I made on a few simple steps to speed up your pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdpdouJqpFk

Ok Andrew asked you what card you had because I am guessing he was unaware of what you had at the time for whatever reason we are all not perfect. Have you updated the card at all?

Have you tried increasing the page size I had to do this when i was playing Everquest.

Updated the drivers for the video card won't do anything, yes it helps to update it for new games and such but nothing significant enough to stop this problem he is encountering. He said he spent 600 bucks on a v-card...that's alot and I wish he would state what kind it is. But that message happens when 1 or more processes are consuming alot of vram. If he would just start task manager and order by memory and see which processes are consuming them and end the process it would work, but he also needs to stop them from booting up with the computer by starting a RUN command or just click start and type in msconfig and go to the startup tab and uncheck all of the programs.
