Phil Marker Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 When I boot my notebook, MX5 has a process in task manager showing 100% disk usuage (over 650 MB/s just for MX5 while I didn't start it). MX5 is not configured to start when booting up. I clean installed a number of times, but still the same issue. If I unstall MX5, I don't have the same high disk usuage issue, but I think we know that MX5 is just about the only browser we want in our PC, right?

7twenty Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 What OS are you using? Just because there is nothing showing in the startup tab in taskmanager doesn't mean that it isn't in the registry. Although it's the first i've heard of MX5 having a startup process?

Phil Marker Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Windows 10 Home version. For a time, I was running verion 4 and MX5, and then deleted V4. I wonder if part of v4 is still left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karajan Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 From where did you download your browser the official site? Have you checked your Laptop for viruses; did you have cortana enabled; have you tried msconfig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Marker Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I downloaded it here. No virus detected. Contrana enabled. What is it that I could try with msconfig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Marker Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Startup Tab was one of the places I had checked. It wasn't there. This really baffled me, because MX5 in another PC of mine is just fine. I thought I would do another clean install. This time, I turned the notebook PC off instead of "Restart." That did the trick! The issue gone. I thought that "Restart" is actually a cold boot in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a "proper" cold boot in Win10 involves restarting/shutdown while holding Shift I think. Otherwise the kernel gets hibernated instead of reloaded at the next start to help speed up the system startup. Not sure why it would affect or even have an MX process still there. I thought it was only system related stuff that was saved, unless you're also hibernating which would save the system status. But glad to see you found the problem.

Honza K. Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Have this issues as well. 5.0.3.2000 with some other issues, eg. I was not able to see mouse right click menu on certain page etc... I think problems appear with continuing work and more tabs open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Marker Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 You might want to make sure that all previous versions be removed, and try a clean install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
