Please help with Performance Settings issue - Huawei Laptop w/ Windows 10

Oliver_Besner

Make sure that your copy of Windows is fully Activated ( Settings -> System -> Activation -> Activation state -> Windows is activated with a digital license )

If you don't have a valid copy of Windows, or you haven't activated it, then of course you will experience a massive performance drop. If you don't have a valid key, you will have to buy one (typically OEM keys are the cheapest, but tied to the motherboard, eg, they cannot be moved to another device in any way shape or form, meaning it is a node locked license.)

NOTE: Smartscreen will close or block applications / scripts, sometimes even drivers (false positive.) Obviously you can disable smartscreen if you really wanted to, but then of course you need a 3rd-party post-paid AV tool.

You should also consider installing the latest drivers from the Huawei site: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/driver-list/
