Since the weekend after a large windows 10 update BetAngel has been using a large amount of CPU compared to pre the update. See screen shot
Is it time for a new PC? Current one is HP deskpro 400 Intel Pentium CPU G3220 @3GHz and 4 GB Ram
Many Thanks
showing 55% whilst previously it would be between 25 and 30%.Latest Windows 10 update messing BA

Its Windows, always been shit when it comes to memory and updates.
But Windows 10 was designed/built for 64 bit. Looks like your running it on a 32 bit processor ????

According to the bumf that came with the PC it is a 64 bit processor (or accepts 63 bit instruction set is how it says it)BetScalper wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:42 pmBut Windows 10 was designed/built for 64 bit. Looks like your running it on a 32 bit processor ????

I only asked because some of the processes, including Bet Angel have (32 bit) next to them in brackets.
Is Bet Angel 32 bit or 64 bit ?
Also, why the hell is Chrome taking up so much RAM ?
Have you got Bet Angel open 7 times and Chrome open 15 times ?

Don't mean to go off subject but I stopped using Chrome on on an older computer for that very reason - it was consuming gobs of memory and just took up more and more until the computer got sluggish.
It's hard to imagine why looking at a meeting's race card on the Racing Post website would take up 100's of megabytes, but that's what it seemed to do!

I am running Bet Angel on a Windows 7 64 bit virtual disk inside a MacBook Pro via Fusion.
The machine has 8GB of Ram split evenly between OS and Windows. The 512GB SSD is also split evenly between the two operating systems.
Never seen the CPU go over 40%.
I would agree with Derek, Chrome is killing your resources. Get rid of it asap. Safari is available for Windows and takes up a very small footprint resource wise.

Can't some of those 15(!) Chrome pages be run in tabs rather than seperate instances? I know people criticise Chrome but 16 instances are taking about 82Mb each and 0.4% CPU, that's not bad.
What refresh rate are your 7 (!) instances of BA running at?
The memory seems a little low too, 80%+ doesn't leave much for temporary storage.
Knowing what Win10 is like, 69% doesn't actually seem that bad given that you have 22 hungry applications running. Dare I ask what your 7 BAs are doing?

The (15) is the number of processes rather than pages. Having one window/tab/page open in a web browser can result in several processes.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:19 amCan't some of those 15(!)

Weird one, I stopped using Firefox for that very reason and have found things to run a lot smother after switching to Chrome. Firefox was absolutely killing the processes if I had a lot on - in Firefox and elsewhere.Derek27 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 10:45 pmDon't mean to go off subject but I stopped using Chrome on on an older computer for that very reason - it was consuming gobs of memory and just took up more and more until the computer got sluggish.

I've always heard that Safari is awful (not in terms of resources though), and I were not a fan at all. Might just be that using Safari for the first time coincided which me channeling my inner hipster and going for a mac for the first time, which I was most definitely not a fan of! Am I missing something on Safari? Or is your point simple that often times a browser is just a browser and if comp resources are an issue, you may as well go for the least demanding browser?BetScalper wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 11:02 pmI am running Bet Angel on a Windows 7 64 bit virtual disk inside a MacBook Pro via Fusion.

I've had that problem with Firefox on a previous computer.
I running Windows 10, I've just closed and reopened Firefox and it's already consuming 200MB. Perhaps I no longer have a problem because I have far more RAM than my previous computer, but I still don't understand why browsers are so memory intensive.
I was an expert on Windows 98 and knew the operating system inside out. With each new Microsoft OS I've had less and less time to learn about it, and with Windows 10 I've had absolutely no time to learn much about it's workings because I'm trading round the clock.

Just increase your RAM to 8 or 16GB. Its dead cheap these days.
At least you can do that, unlike me, as Apple now solder the RAM and SSD's to the fcukin motherboard.

It was just one instance of Chrome with two tabs one for Betfair and one for flashscores.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:19 amCan't some of those 15(!)

One instance of BetAngel but with some of the screens popped out i.e the advanced charts.
So not really 22 applications running
