Solve : Weather Channel App (Causing PC to slow)? |
|
Answer» This was a pretty cool app; but since I put it on my PC it became slower. Another thought occurred to me after my initial response. If this weather app is important to you when you install it disable it as part of the "start" menu and that may eliminate the problem it is creating re slowing down the computer.truenorth I, too was having problems and narrowed it down to the Weather Channel App. I use to have it running all the time at start up and then when I shut it down it would tell me something was running in the BACKGROUND. My computer was sluggish and I disabled the WC app and haven't had any problems since. There were also intermittent things that were happening that I have noticed don't happen any more. KEEP in mind you can visit www.weather.com anytime with your browser and get the weather. You COULD also visit the site, enter your zip code, and then save that page as a bookmark. If you save it a bookmarks toolbar on your browser, you'll have that bookmark always in view at the top of your browser; you won't need to open the drop down bookmarks menu to find it. I use weatherunderground...I deleted the app and it seemed to fix things.That app used to be detected as malware by most anti-malware programs though I'm not sure if that's STILL the case. In any case, yeah I'd say scrap it due to its history of not respecting user's machines. |
