What a worthy thread to revive.
Computer gurus welcome.
I have an old computer that I run Zwift off, its ok spec for the age (probably about 10yrs old)... cant remember where I got it, may have bought it for one of the boys a while back.
This computer had a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro about 3 months ago and every possible program uninstalled, it only runs Zwift. Nothing else.
The problem is, my Zwift has frozen twice lately while I was riding, screen freezes and ride is over.
Anyway, I do remember fitting a cheap TP Link WN881ND 300mbps wireless adaptor that I bought locally from MSY Computers.
TP-Link TL-WN881ND N300 Wireless N PCI Express Adapter 2.4GHz (300Mbps) 802.11bgn 2x2dBi Detachable Omni Antennas MIMO with Low Profile Bracket - TP-LINK - TP-Link TL-WN881ND N300 Wireless N PCI Express Adapter 2.4GHz (300Mbps) 802.11bgn 2x2dBi Detachable Omni Antennas MIMO with Low Profile Bracket

So tonight I got up the resource manager and task manager, ran Zwift and watched the load, I then uninstalled Zwift and re installed.
See my screen shot.
The router is about 5m away through glass and nearly direct line of sight to the Zwift computer and my download is maxed out at 53Mbps which is as good as it gets with my connection.
I initially though it was slow loading from the internet but this seems to be not the case.
HDD is a standard 500gb WD
Graphics is onboard (no card)
MoBo is an ASUS F1A75 V Pro
I could probably (most likely) add a small SSD and reinstall windows and zwift on there and add a graphics card.
Any ideas why its freezing ? Loading stuff very slowly ? Takes ages to start up ?
