Windows has detected your performance...

[adcret7]

So i recently updated and now this annoying message which i cleared up before i updated keeps appearing saying "Windows has detected your performance is slow try turning off aero" and all that giberish. Try as i might i cant seem to get it to stop. i Chose to hide icon and notifications from action center but it still appears. Is there anyway to stop this once and for all? Also i unchecked Windows troubleshooting in Maintenance messages in "Change action center settings".

see if the steps below help you

Type "advance system settings" (without the quotes)in search box and select "view advance system settings".

On advance tab, click settings under performance.

In visual effect, select adjust for best performance and on the list, tick enable desktop composition, show thumbnails instead of icons, smooth edges of screen fonts and use visual styles on windows and buttons.

See if the problem persist after you change the settings.

Will this get rid of the aero theme? I happen to like that.

Adcret7,
Yes you wil lose the aero.

there is another approach:
Rather than Adjust for best performance, select Custom
Uncheck a few items and see if yo lose any features you want, such as:
Enable aero peek, Use visual styles on windows and buttons

click on the APPLY button then OK button your way out.

Have you installed Win 7 SP1? Yes/No

did you have a read through the link brink(admin) updated in my post? Visual Effects Settings - Change - Windows 7 Forums

If you want to help improve performance, then these are the most common ones to uncheck:

• Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
• Animations in the taskbar and Start Menu
• Enable transparent glass
• Fade or slide menus into view
• Fade or slide ToolTips into view
• Fade out menu items after clicking
• Show shadows under windows
• Slide open combo boxes

you could also run the Windows Experience Index - Update or Refresh Score - Windows 7 Forums this may help establish any weakness in the system

I fixed it sort of. This happened long before and when you would hit "Keep display the same and never show this message" it would keep showing it. I guess they fixed it as i hit the X and not that assuming it wouldn't matter

still would be good to Windows Experience Index - Update or Refresh Score - Windows 7 Forums

Use Windows 7 Basic theme to improve your performance. Here's some screenshot to help you understand.

Right-click empty desktop, click on Personalize.

Click on Windows 7 Basic theme. On Please wait, wait for a second and you'll no longer get full Aero experience.

Jonathan,
He wants to keep the aero effect. With a basic theme, you lose aero.

Maybe this will do the job: Action Center > Troubleshooting > Change Settings > tick -Off- under Computer Maintenance. You will loose all messages, not only the graphic related ones, but then it's just a matter of running it with -On- now and then to check, if you feel it's needed.

You should not have that error message if you're running Win7 on adequate hardware. I would look at upgrading my video adapter since the rest of your posted hardware specs are plenty.

It can also depend upon a lean perfect install of Win7 running a Clean Boot (no startups except AV, gadgets, stickies) installed and maintained using the Best Practices in Clean Reinstall Windows 7.

I only have had to edit visual effects as mentioned in 4gb- RAM installs. The target items which hog resources but aren't noticeable when disabled are sliding, fading, dragging intact, selection rectangle.

Help me. Is the problem gone? Incidentally, I never had any aero problems on laptops with 4 GB of ram.

It's apparently when Windows Desktop manager is regularly under heavy load that it generates the error OP is experiencing logged at the top of Advanced Tools page accessed by clicking your WEI score link at Computer>Properties.

I have only seen this error on installations with less than 4gb RAM. It will typically go away when Visual effects are edited of fading, sliding, draggin intact and selection rectangle which place extra demands on system resources.

Sometimes if it is accompanied by hanging or any other slowness it requires hardware upgrade of the weak component.

 

[karlsnooks]

I disagree with the word evident. Let us wait for the OP.

Are you referencing a post of mine, because I have not used that word that I can see?
