I have a Win10 system running which worked fantastically using RT, Digikam, Gimp and Irfanview.
Suddenly out of nowhere everything slowed down a lot, to the point where even browsing through images using irfanview and Digikam, which were more or less instantaneous before, had an unberreable lag.
Finally I did a new install and now many things are fast again, except the above mentioned programs.
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this??
I would love to achieve the old speed again.
Can you check your taskmanager if there is a application that uses large amounts of cpu ram or disk?
Yes, several times and nothing major was going on. Just an Example:
That’s the crazy thing about it.
The bread looks really yummy 
As you know yeast is scarce in germany, so I decided to try sourdough, and I am really happy with results. It’s really yummy. 
Just to finish this thread myself…
First a correction. Not just image related software was slow, everything was.
The solution: detach the battery from the computer for more than a minute! I know sounds crazy but it worked. Found the solution in some forum and this seems to be a known issue with the Dell XPS15.
