Do you use AVG Tune Up? (Used to be called Tuneuputilities) Yesterday, this made more difference to speed after upgrade to Windows 10 than anything. I'm sure there's plenty other apps that will do the same job, but Tune Up has served me well for years.
The clean upgrade is anything but. It is a messy process with lots of remnants of apps it was supposed to have deleted. It only seems to delete apps in Program Files and Program files(86) and without systematically deleting registry entries. For instance, I found registry entries for Disk Keeper, (Condusiv Technologies), in the registry when it had been removed at upgrade. Also my copy of Python, installed in the root drive, was left untouched!
Having done a clean install, wiping out all my old apps, I was reluctant, initially, to run any more start up applications for fear of reducing speed. However Tune Up has sorted out numerous issues such as clutter, irrelevant registry entries, orphaned links etc. This has transformed my system. Everything runs faster, it can multitask reliably and shutdown and start up are significantly quicker. Whereas the processor idled at around 15% it now idles at 2%.
I plan to use this PC as a media server, running Plex, (Not the crappy Windows 10 app, but the proper Plex server) , but it failed to stream smoothly if at all. Now it dishes out every film without any issues.
