Oh please no! Moonchild! I just was offline doing whatever people do on first day of a New Year!
I speak only for myself! I am VERY VERY pleased with the results of finding this browser Pale Moon, and its 64 bit version for my x64 bit machine!
I have the "competition" on the taskbar....
I only end up using them when some little code problem causes me to have to resort to using them to complete online orders, or send Email without slowly typing each letter, etc etc.
I'm sorry Moonchild!
I WISH I was good enough coder to do exactly what is needed to help out PMB to do its mission and provide us all with an alternative world view of the Internet that actually works great on x64 machines (that I need for their computing speed and abilities with other purchased programs I've gathered over the years!

There obviously is a problem for
some users, but it's neither easy to reproduce nor clear what the exact cause is. As long as I can't reproduce the problem myself, I'll have to rely on clear and detailed information from others which.... has not come either -- which makes the existence of a problem hard to grasp. I'll admit to the possibility that there is a problem in the Pale Moon code, but nothing I've tried so far has given me anything to act on. So the status right now is "incomplete".
If you think it's this clear-cut that it just waits for an implementation of a solution as your tone suggests, then please by all means, point me to the cause in the code and I'll get right on it.
[my edit highlight]
by all means, grab UXP, fix the problem, and offer a code patch upstream to us like Open Source development is supposed to be done

So here is the link to show CPU with kernel times!
Now tell me---the elephant in the room with brain the size of a peanut compared to all the other great computer geniuses I'm communicating with....
what does these Kernel times show me? (Oh by the way...I just turned on computer so maybe its not acting up yet...I guess I SHOULD re-post a second image below showing the kernel when I experience the sluggish typing problem, correct?
But <jumping up and down for joy here> that I'm able in Windows 10 to find all my old computer tools once again that Microsoft felt it important enough to hide away from me...
Screenshot 1 (normal CPU and Kernel)

Screenshot 2 (not edited in yet---give it an hour or so and I'll compare the times myself too..but not posted yet...--step by step everyone!)
Someone knows how to give easy instructions to those of us who are computer coder "wanna-bees" Easy! it works! Thanks ...here is result...
(hey Found the missing "show the desktop" button! Thanks for helping me learn W10!)
(
Found my missing "resource monitor" --can't make it stay in the task bar...but at least I can post it note how to get it and use it when I need its help again!)

9. And here ozzed suggested replacing x64 with x32 version
No, it was me and you still haven't done it. That is YOUR issue not being able to follow advice - just TRY it.
I am sure I explained you can run both versions and use the same profile, at least that is what I have been doing for the last few years with no issues. I just choose the version of PM that I wish to run 32/64.
Regardless, even if you choose to run it in a separate profile with no bookmarks, add-ons &c then that is a GOOD thing to do as
that is what you are meant to do. You need to isolate the bug and you do that step by step. Otherwise how do you expect to be able to identify it? You are good at writing words but even better at avoiding doing what is necessary.
Now do this: install PM 32bit and use it for a while, no extensions, add-ons, new profile &c and see if the problem goes away. If it re-occurs then you have helped yourself identify that the problem is possibly systemic to your hardware and PM.
If it goes away then you can think about migrating to 32bit PM at your leisure.
No more excuses about why you can't do something - just do it! It MIGHT be the solution and if it isn't it will still help to diagnose. DO IT!
Some discussion, please? Happy to have yereverluvinuncleber responding to my lengthy post!
1. I'm sorry if I contused you (yereverluvinuncleber) with Ozzed.thanks for the correction.
2. this sentence
I am sure I explained you can run both versions and use the same profile, at least that is what I have been doing for the last few years with no issues. I just choose the version of PM that I wish to run 32/64.
Makes me think that you assume I'm the person who began this posting...I just joined it (trying not to hijack this post as that is against some rule I read somewhere...or was it in another Windows 10 help section...I'm in so many trying to figure out what is going on I'm losing track so
APOLOGIES to all if I mix up the help desks there and here!
3. No I never knew you can keep the same profile!
and have BOTH versions of PMB on the x64 machine..... I'd have done it by now if I thought that was possible... And if I read somewhere how to do it...
4. Searching for the instruction manual of PMB to figure out how to do that...
5. A big thank you to yereverluvinuncleber for suggesting this!

Several other posters on January 1st lead me (without quoting whole thread here!)
to believe I may have a link that someone might find useful...
I have a question!
Does everyone who has this problem :
1. Used to use Windows 7 on their exact same hardware and recently (or some time ago before update to PMB 28 ver)
upgrade their OS to Windows 10?
or
2. Are still using Windows 7?
Why asking?
My developer sense is tingling (nothing new...I'm back in Pascal/Basic/COBOL/ALGOL (yeah that old here)...and saying that maybe its something that is reacting to left over bits and pieces of Windows 7 OS code that the latest Microsoft update has not removed properly when updating to Windows 10? Or are still using Windows 7 with its latest updates...
3. I clearly remember that this problem did not manifest itself until one of the last (October or so?) updates from Microsoft that you cannot "undo" ---I think it announced that fact...so you can look back on history and see which one about September or October 2018 did that...
My Windows 7 stopped booting up for a totally different problem...so I only witnessed this problem before I scrapped Windows 7 and went for a cleaner install overlay of Windows 10 with all data intact...
Does that make sense to anyone here?
Just trying to help in the new world...
ready to learn more....But slow ocean liner here ...takes power and nimbleness I no longer have to change course and become more adaptive to the new faster coders who are making PMB and all other apps etc etc in new XHTML Code (I only wrote in HTML---so don't let me near the coding button without that "X" memorized upgrade to my memory!)
I keep quoting this line:
XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language) is a reformulation of HTML in XML syntax. While very similar in many respects, it has a few key differences. ... In contrast to the leniency of HTML parsers, XML parsers are required to fail catastrophically if they encounter even the simplest syntax error in an XML document.Sep 20, 2006
Ok, thanks to everyone for reading my lengthy words...
I keep trying to keep up with everyone here...
I enjoy learning more and more...so appreciative of those willing to share their knowledge ...not going to waste...I'll try to figure this problem out...
(Oh and the other posting I did...I may have solved the not printing problem...but haven't had the computer on for long enough to lose printing ability in PMB so I have not marked that thread as solved...I probably should go over there and type this sentence in there too...but announced it here first as I thought of it just now on 1-2...slow , ocean liner here remember?)
