Handling V3 slowness and heaviness.

I recently started getting a "too many reloads" message in V3.  And Chrome would lock up.
Plus at the same time the fan on my laptop started making a lot of noise while being on chess.com.
And constantly - CCleaner keeps indicating that Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer are active -
and creating junk files even though I don't use them and have them disabled in Windows settings.

So I tried an experiment.
Renamed an Edge SystemApps folder as disabled.
Went to Control Panel - Internet Options.  Blocked all cookies in Internet Explorer.
Maxxed the security on other tabs.  Checked "do not save Encrypted". 
Set lots of things to disable.  Cleared caches.
Set CCleaner to skip the MFT free space area.  To skip to wiping the free space on the hard drive.

Results so far: 
Much less fan noise.  So far.
No Chrome locking up since then.  Yet.
No "too many reloads".  Yet.

Windows Update working a little better now when done manually.
CCleaner completing its scans faster.  Less junk appearing on its Analysis.
And less heaviness of V3.   V2 was never this "heavy".
I suspect there's a whole bunch of junk files weighing down the server somehow.
No I'm not a programmer - but why don't they let us delete that old "activity" stuff?
And give us a scroll option to see everything we have tracked - including all tactics problems.
So we can untrack a lot of things.
