VERY Slow UI after updating to windows 10

For those coming here from google, here’s what I did (based on the software conflicts page):

  1. Disabled the action (notification) center altogether. I added a 32 bit DWORD key in regedit:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
    name: DisableNotificationCenter
    value: 1

…you can set this to 0 or delete the key if you want your notifications back.
This only marginally improved performance. The real fix was:

  1. Found Sonic Suite 2 running in my system tray. Right click / Exit.
    This alleviated all UI-based performance issues for me.

On a related note, it also fixed this:

  • Created a simple 1st person project and opened it.
  • Double clicked the HUD blueprint to edit (and moved the tab to the main window).
  • Clicked Play (with the blueprint editor open the play begins in a new window instead of the 3d viewport).
  • Game began playing but at like 2 frames per second.
  • Hit escape and switched back to the 3d editor window, game plays fine in the 3d viewport.

Shutting down “Sonic Suite 2” solved this as well.

FWIW,
