Maybe it's just me... but is 10 a little slow to respond?

Seems like there is a small yet significant delay in response from windows 10 when I right click a pinned item on the task bar or when I click the start button that I don't recall under 8.1.

Anybody else finding the same or is it just a case of letting it settle in for a few weeks first?
 
Seen some slowdowns of that nature in the technical preview - I put it down to being in development/possibly having debugging code and didn't expect to see it come release but seeing quite a lot of reports of the same kind of slowdowns so not so sure.
 
Playing with it a little more I cant help but think it's unfinished, badly unfinished. Right click the taskbar and I get a nice fast response and a nice clean white looking submenu with clean easy to read text, right click any icon pinned to the taskbar (chrome for example) and there is a significant pause before a dark grey somewhat larger text menu appears. It's like there are two themes installed and it's using both dependant on where I am looking :/
 
mine is like that too. big sluggish to respond with certain things.

clicking the control panel tile in my start menu takes 11 seconds to load :(
 
Only trouble ive seen on my two machines was on my desktop, upgraded from & Ultimate, if i right clicked on taskbar icons i got nothing, but a reboot sorted that... both it and my laptop respond straight away to right clicks..

Now my friends i3 laptop running 2gb of ram was slow at everything, i put it down to a naff slow hdd, but having turned off a few animation and shadow options, which you hardly notice, its feeling much snappier... not as good as my two ssd machines, but very useable.

The only slowdown ive seen was on may laptop is in IE and MS Edge, both where slow to load pages and refused to scroll with the touchpad, but i think that maybe a driver issue with the touchpad, as plugging in a usb mouse and running IE or Edge and no problems and after a few reboots both seam to be loading pages much better now.. just cant scroll still with the touchpad.
 
I'm finding it very quick.
Maybe it's because it's a fresh install on an msata drive but not found any slowdowns whatsoever yet.

A cold boot to desktop takes 12 seconds, so I'm happ with that!
 
Boot time is fine, it's the actual OS itself that is sluggish at times, and both my machines are running off SSD's so it's not down to being on slow mechanical drives.

Running it from an SSD and my cold boot to desktop time is 60-70 seconds which is more the twice as slow as with Windows 7. Rather disappointing and from reading other reports it seems to vary greatly for different people. Maybe a clean install will fix it.

Something really wrong with that as my Windows 8.1 used to boot in 10-12 seconds and now my Windows 10 also boots in 10-12 seconds and I've not done a fresh install for years. Longer than I can remember.
My wifes laptop in 8.1 is like lightning it boots in about 5 seconds from full shutdown. In Windows 10 its about the same. My sons laptops have had their boot time halved from Windows 7 to 10.

Have you looked at your startup in msconfig or in something like CCLeaner to find whats loading up with Windows. Its quite often overlooked and usually full of crap.
 
There's a big update coming start of august, with big foxes and performance.
Then I'm September/October threshold 2 which will include the same as well as new features, like edge extensions and the messaging app.
 
iv had this too... certain things have taken ages to respond. Sometimes its lightning fast and sometimes it takes ages for something to open up. It took me about 15 minutes to uninstall graphic card drivers... and then I clicked the sound options in windows it took ages for it to load up. Other times it loads up straight away. I also had an issue booting up in safe mode... it took about 10 minutes for the system to boot up.
 
It's there, particularly the first time an action occurs, it's only a split second but it's bugging me.

The animation for the sliding menus also takes a little longer to complete than in the past I think but that seems to be the way it's coded.

Edge estensions will be good. However I do find it odd that you'll be able to just stick adblock on it when the OS appears to built around targetting adds and whatnot with all the data gathering. Then again Chrome has adblock.
 
Most of the data gathering isn't data gathering as such. It's services like Cortana, one drive and such like not working without such permissions.
Targeted adds aren't anything new, and can be switched off if you want. app developers have to get paid somehow.
 
I found it a bi slow at first but it seems to have improved over time (I suspect things sorting themselves out in the background) ... and this is on a AMD-e350 based netbook ...
