In Windows 10, the error message "this process takes longer than usual" often appears. This message says little about the actual error or problem. In this article we show you what you can do about it.
"This process takes longer than usual" on Windows 10 - what to do?
Especially with installations or updates, Windows 10 often gives the error message "This process takes longer than usual". We'll show you how to fix this.
- Often this problem is due to insufficient free memory.
- Therefore, close all programs that you do not need and wait for the process to finish.
- Another cause could be insufficient free space on your hard drive. In this case, you can either uninstall apps and programs or delete unnecessary files and folders.
- Your antivirus program may also be running a scan. In order for the process to be carried out and the message to be eliminated, you should briefly switch off the antivirus program and the firewall.
- Tuning programs also continue to run in the background, searching for incorrect settings. However, these themselves use enough storage space.
- We therefore recommend uninstalling such programs, as they can sometimes even slow down the system.
- With a slow download, an overloaded internet line can also be to blame. So please try again later.
