[IDK what I'm DOING]

Right on and Thank you Fugger! I know just enough to understand what you are saying. I watched the performance while doing PS & LR for a few of the more demanding tasks and the CPU did hit 100% a few times but just for a second and the RAM never went past 60%. I will look into old restore points, disk cache and bloat next.  

Thanks again,

Rich

[IDK what I'm DOING]

GA Z170-HD3P, w/ Intel 100 series / C230. I use this PC for Photoshop and Lightroom, I am looking for less lag time while processing photos ie: changing color, removing distractions, and doing countless photo editing.

I have run the Easy Tuner from the Gigabyte App center from 3.5GHz to 4.1GHz. IDK what that did, so I used the Intel Extreme Tuner moving the processor core from 35 to 41. 

Can anyone tell me what I did and can I do more? I may notice a slight change while working with photos but not sure.

Thank you in advance for any help.
