Asus 453SA-WX036T running slow

[generbedoya]

i just brought Asus 453SA-WX036T and here's the specs:

Intel Pentium Quad Core N3700 1.6 GHz up to 2.4GHz
2GB DDR3
500GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm
Intel HD Graphics
Windows 10 64-bit.

The notifications and start up apps are already been disable. all of my drivers and windows are on update. i already switch the power options to high performance but i feel still slow. I've noticed also it runs smooth while in offline mode but once I've connected to wifi it runs so slow.

what is the right choice?

should i add more ram or i will change my windows 10 to a 32-bit version?
i think windows 10 64-bit is the root cause of my problem but i'm not so sure.

sorry for my english... thank you in advance.

Have you tried running it in "Safe Mode with Networking" to see if you get that same slowness when connected to WiFi? If not, I would try it as if you don't get it in "Safe Mode" then there is something on the laptop that is running and probably accessing the WiFi and causing the slowness. You may not even know it is running.

How to enter "Safe Mode" when booting the computer.

In Windows 8 and 10...

As your computer restarts, press F8 (possibly a few times) to enter "Safe Mode"

a. Press the "F4" key to Enable "Safe Mode".
(The computer will then start in "Safe Mode" with a minimal set of drivers and services.)

b. Press the "F5" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Networking.
( Once "Safe Mode" with Networking starts, Windows is in Safe Mode, with additional network and services for accessing the Internet and other computers on your network.)

c. Press the "F6" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Command Prompt.
(In "Safe Mode" with "Command Prompt" starts Windows in Safe Mode, with a Command Prompt window instead of the Windows interface. This option is mostly only used by IT professionals.)

Now sign in to the computer with your account name and password. (If you have one set.) When you are finished troubleshooting, you can exit "Safe Mode" restarting your computer.


In Windows 7/Vista/XP...

1. Immediately after turning on the computer, or restarting it (usually after you hear your computer beep), tap the F8 key, repeatedly, in 1 second intervals.

2. The computer will then display hardware information and run a memory test.

3. Next the "Advanced Boot Options" menu will appear.

4. In the "Advanced Boot Options" menu use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" or "Safe Mode with Networking" and press ENTER.
