Windows 10

I just upgraded my win 7 to win 10.  Both OrCad PCB Editor and OrCad capture are running extremely slow.  It take about 2 minutes for the software to come up, and then every command take at 30 seconds.  I have looked at task manager, the CPU usage goes up to about 99% and stays that high even after I close OrCad.  Any I dea why this is happening before I go back to win 7?  Appreciate your help.

    i have been using win 10 with old laptop and it worked fine.

    I have win10 professional, x64 and latest hotfix installed. i'm sure that there is no difference working b/w win 7 & win 10.

    it must work fine.

    One problem that i have noticed that in win 10, you must run all program "Run as admin". it is must. set the property of shortcut to "Run as admin".

    Now if still exist than try to reinstall it as "Run as admin" if not tried than.
