Any way to speed windows 10 up for basic internet browsing? Get it to use memory better so you can run a few things and not get loads of spinning wheels and pauses. For instance I can't seem to run youtube alongside anything else as it seems to slow everything down.

Got a damn i5 surface pro 4 and it runs like a Samsung nc10.

Yeah it's 4gb i5 128gb.

I have a memory card in the slot at all times, not sure if that could be an issue.

I've got Microsoft edge running with three page tabs. In the resource monitor there is running one microsoftedge.exe and six microsoftedgeCP.exe. One of the microsoftedgeCP.exe is taking the most memory, about 1800mb. Microsoftphotos.exe is running and using 500mb, its no where to be seen in the programs opened below.

Since I've been looking into this the mouse feels like someone is trying to move it, like resistance when dragging. Its become a lot slower, letters appear by delay when typing.

I restarted and it appears to have improved. I think surface pro doesn't do well waking up from sleep constantly.
