My system is facing something wrong. Every time I run LOL on my machine, I can clearly feel that my computer runs as a snail. It takes a long long time to load the game. Also, while I am playing, I notice that the FPS can drop from 132 to 20 or so. I can’t play the game on my machine anymore. It never happens before. What should I do? Any good idea?

Hello, my computer’s CPU usage percentage always keeps high and I’ve noticed one process that is always active called “System Interrupts,” in this moment, it consumes on average 3.4% of CPU. I never know this kind of process. What exactly is this system interrupt? And is it necessary for Windows system? What can I do to reduce the percentage of usage of system resource?

What’s System Interrupts?

System Interrupts is also called “Interrupts” and “IRQs” which actually are operating system level processes. Interrupts are a form of communication between software and hardware with the CPU. For example, when you type on your keyboard, the hardware and software will respectively send interrupts to inform the CPU of the task at hand then respond to the task by doing necessary processing. On Wikipedia, it explains as below:

In system programming, an interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs immediate attention. An interrupt alerts the processor to a high-priority condition requiring the interruption of the current code the processor is executing. The processor responds by suspending its current activities, saving its state, and executing a function called an interrupt handler (or an interrupt service routine, ISR) to deal with the event. This interruption is temporary, and, after the interrupt handler finishes, the processor resumes normal activities.

Hi! I need help, please. I have experienced a strange issue on my Windows 10 in the past couple of days. The Windows Search would stop working suddenly. And when I search on it, it would return no result at all. Once I started typing a keyword and tapped enter, it will display the “Searching” , however, it would always keep saying search and there would be no result. I have tried to restart my computer and have hoped that this could fix it. But obviously it couldn’t. What can I do to fix this problem then? Could you please help me? Thanks advance for any help.

“I have a particular folder on my desktop that I cannot delete. When attempting to delete I receive the error message:
Cannot delete folder..: Cannot find specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.
I have tried deleting while in Safe Mode with the same error message. I have also performed a CHKDSK /F and am still unable to delete. I am the admin on this PC also. Do you know how to delete this folder? It is appreciated if you can help me.”

“Same issue here, no power options available, can’t change anything with the user accounts even though I’m the admin, cant delete an empty folder from C: drive even it pops us as its working on something, when trying to uninstall programs it says an error occurred – it may have been already uninstalled and the program is still there… how do I delete the folder? Please help…”

Many users encountered the problem about can’t delete files/folders. Maybe everyone get the different detail error information, but there is only one result that is file/folders cannot be deleted. It is hard to solve this problem even thought they spend a lot of time and find a lot of solution. Delete command is one of the computer operation common commands, but many people encounter a problem that is difficult to delete files/folders, there are many reasons cause this problem.

Why can’t you delete the files/folders even thought you are the owner/admin?

1. When there are occupied files in the folder or some virus program at runtime, it could lead to delete failed. Viruses and malware can prevent files or folders from being modified or deleted. If this is the case, you need to remove the virus or malware infection to be able to delete the affected file or folder.

2. If you adopt the NTFS file system, it could lead to delete failed because of the current user does not have complete control permissions for the target file. Read the rest of this post »
