In the last few days my computer has be acting strange. Its been freezing and running very slowly. Sometimes I can't even shut it off. At other time it runs perfectly. I'm wondering with everybody home and streaming if it's having an effect on our computer's performance. Some of my programs are in the cloud and some keep me connected to the cloud.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

Only my work computer going through the VPN.
of course half he company is going through the VPN so not a great surprise.
I suspect comcast is not exactly holding up their end well either.

 

Rob, I'm streaming all my tv through YouTubeTV, and I am not having any issues with that or web browsing. Last night, I set up a conference call for our HOA through UberConference, and the quality was terrible. Speech clipped, dropping out, etc. I heard today that with everyone working from home that phone conferences are suffering. But, as I said, everything else is hunky-dory.

 

Your computer must have a virus. First to say it.

 

No issues here.

 

It does sound like a virus.

 

Rob, the more you've got connected to the cloud, the more likely you'd see an impact. On top of that, add in some Microsoft patches at inopportune times and not sure it's unexpected. Pending your provider, you could also be impacted by thousands of local kids all watching YouTube videos or playing MineCraft in the neighborhood.

By me, it hasn't been horrible, but am getting a little slowness on some OnDemand TV recently.

A good simple check is just run task manager and take a look through for anything unusual in your task and app lists.

 

Gary,
That's exactly what I think is going on. This evening I've had no problems but during the day I had slowness. I really think it has a lot to do with the traffic on line.

 

No issues here with Comcast.

 

Internet went down yesterday, brieftly. Kinda llike a reboot.
