Usually I get around 8-12 MB/sec download speeds, but it was now crawling at 1.2 MB/sec.
Users at the forum thread reported similar lags on their PCs, even with SSDs, and some users were on Windows 7.Īnd I also noticed that my internet speed which is around 100 MBps on Wi-Fi, and 150 on LAN was slower. So this proved the issue was not with Windows 10. My laptop had no lags though, and has BitDefender Total Security.
And all of them were on the same Windows 10 Build 14393.953, which is the one I am using on both my PC and my laptop. I came to know of this by visiting the Kaspersky support forums, where many other users reported the exact same issue. But the issue clearly was not with my PC, but a bad update from Kaspersky. So, I rebooted the PC twice, the first time it wouldn't shut down and I had to press reset.Īfter the second reboot the issue seemed to have been fixed. There was no CPU usage reported by the Windows Task Manager, but the Disk Usage reached 100% at times.
The issue appeared to be with the Kaspersky version 17.0.0.611(d), and its tray icon was blinking continuously, as if it was scanning forever. What caused the lags is unknown, but my guess is something was messed up in a recent update. It is from a 3-user-3-year license deal, which I got in 2015. I have been using Kaspersky Internet Security, for a good few years now, and my current subscription has just over 449 days remaining.
But as an experienced user, I knew where the issue could lie, with my antivirus. The PC was not heating, and took ages to perform basic tasks like shutting down, opening applications.This got me worried, as the PC boots in seconds, plays the highest end games in almost max settings, etc. It was an odd time for me last night, when my brand new gaming PC (with an intel i5-7500/8GB RAM and a 7200 RPM HDD) began to lag miserably.
