Camera Raw, Bridge, AND Lightroom suddenly insanely slow!

Am I the only one who has this problem?
I am running Bridge CC v6.1.1.10 x64, Photoshop CC v20150722.r.168 x64 , and Camera Raw v9.2.0.486. Camera Raw has been running super fast up until recently.Can't put my finger on exactly when. But, within the last couple months I Updated to an SSD, UPGRADED from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and have had a couple updates to Adobe. SO, I'm not quite sure which one is the problem but I am leaning towards Windows 10 UPGRADE. I am about to do a fresh reinstall of Windows 10 (I've heard there are problem with the upgrade as apposed to the fresh install) but thought I would post before doing so.

Also, Lightroom is running even slower than Camera Raw.

This is what I have already tried:
-Purged my cache
-Increase cache from 1gb to 2gb, 5gb, 10gb, 20gb (It always ran smoothly at 1.5gb)
-I have 127gb free on my ssd
-Unchecked "Use Graphics Processor" - That made it slightly faster but still too slow to work with
-re-installing each program
-using older versions of camera raw (I installed different versions of Camera_Raw.8bi)
-And some other things I can't remember
-All drivers are up to date

Here is what I am running. Keep in mind, everything had been running very fast up until my recent changes. I'm not a complete computer nerd but I do understand a good portion. I will just paste some info from my DXDiag. Oh, I know my BIOS is old, but that is the most recent I could get from the manufacturer.

Out of curiosity have you logged out of Adobe CC and then back in? I had a weird slowdown and although it may have been a coincidence it appeared to solve it.

Just tried it...nothin

Man. I'm all out. Sorry to hear it.

You've done everything I would think to suggest. I've also read and heard of horror stories from a Windows 10 upgrade. That would be my next move, although you might want to wait a bit to see if someone else here can come up with a better alternative.

Just out of curiosity, do you have an external HD hooked up? If so, maybe try unplugging that and see if it helps?

And are any other apps running slow?

I had exactly the same problem but on Win 8. Lightroom suddenly became really slow at making adjustments and zooming in/moving the image around was impossible. I tried lots of stuff - adjusted the cache size, fiddled with every LR setting, updated all my drivers, downgraded all my drivers, unistalled/reinstalled SSD. I eventually tried to refresh my windows system and got some errors, so I assumed that something in Win (probably related to video) was borked. I did reinstall and it fixed the problem.

I don't have anything besides Adobe products installed. I did have an external HDD plugged in but I have also tried it without it plugged in. Not on purpose, but just because I had it unplugged by chance.

I am having the same exact problems as you did. EXTREMELY slow adjustments, crops, switching between images, etc.

I am probably going to do a Windows reinstall this Sunday. Did you do a complete reinstall? I was going to try "reinstalling while keeping files" and see if I can get by with that method.

I am running the same programs AND versions at work on Windows 8.1 with no issues. So, I will be editing my stuff there until I fix this.

I couldn't find a definitive answer to this issue when I googled it, so at least we will have this thread for others to find who face a similar issue.

Heya,

Sounds like it may have something to do with memory handling honestly. It's like it's using everything from the drive, and not from RAM. It could also be an issue unique to Windows 8~10 with how it handles memory, regardless of the SSD, with those pieces of software.

I use windows 7, no reason to update windows at all especially with this software as long as it is supported by the OS.

I would not update the OS frankly as that's more than likely the issue.

Very best,

That's the way it is acting.

Yea, I upgraded from Windows 7. Windows 7 was running lightning fast too. I didn't want to upgrade but a Microsoft buddy of mine convinced me to. I can still revert back to 7 but I think I will reinstall Windows 10 first. See what happens. Everything is triple backed up.
