Encryption Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Got 100% high disk usage at startup on my laptop, ever since v1809. In Task Manager, the culprit are from some Microsoft apps. Updated successfully to v1903 last week, got stuck at 99% downloading status, decided to restart after half-an-hour of waiting, resumed the 99% downloading status, then after 24 minutes it reached 100%, and completed the update in three hours. But still have the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disable Cortana Search Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000 Enable Cortana Search Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] "AllowCortana"=dword:00000001 Pro and Enterprise Users: Disable Cortana via Group Policy (See attached images) First, launch the group policy editor by pressing Windows + R, typing gpedit.msc into the box, and pressing Enter or OK. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search. (See attached images) Locate the “Allow Cortana” setting in the right pane and double-click it. Set the Allow Cortana option to “Disabled” and then click “OK”. You can now close the group policy editor. You’ll have to sign out and sign back in–or restart your PC–for this change to take effect. To re-enable Cortana, return here, double-click the “Enable Cortana” setting, and change it to “Not Configured” or “Enabled”.

But still have the problem. 1. Got 100% high disk usage at startup on my laptop It shows that your cpu is completely OK but not very powerful, within a few minutes 100% is perfectly normal. Time depends on how much you have processes and programs what running when Windows starts. 2. got stuck at 99% downloading status, decided to restart after half-an-hour of waiting, resumed the 99% downloading status, then after 24 minutes it reached 100%, and completed the update in three hours. But still have the problem. There may be two reasons (usually two, but there may be more) 1. Your computer is not cleaned of old files and temporary files you need to clear specific folders %Temp% and %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download 2. Another reason is slow internet 3. this is one option but it rarely happens - your hard drive is not good, needs checking and fix it if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install the retail pro version and activate the pro version with the pro version activation key or use a digital license. If home version already installed, use generic pro version key and your windows will be automatically updated to pro. (turn off internet, change key and then connect to internet again). If upgrading ends, it is then necessary to activate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to back up, it is digitally connected to a specific computer or computer and to your Microsoft account. Both options are possible. All of this happens automatically. My recommendation is to register your computer with a Microsoft account and you do not need to do anything else to sign in to your account after reinstalling.

Ha91 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 @Kalju Oh, yes, you are correct. I do not understand. I changed my hard-drive and it only helped restore my Windows ID using the email ID but the office activation is not found. Any suggestions to restore it?

Kalju Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Check if there is any activation key. If so, remove it (recommended restart) and try activate again. If You know, there is no key, try to activate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 But do you remember how you activated it? What kind of key You used or used some activator or got Your key from Microsoft. If really don't remember, look for VL activation on this forum or using Google search and select something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
