Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to win 11.

Try run PC health check:

Run a full system scan using Windows Defender to check malware.

Disable unnecessary startup programs that might be slowing down your system.

Use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and other unnecessary data.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

If your Windows 11 system is slow, you can run the following checks:

1. Use Windows Performance Monitor: Open Run (Win + R) → type perfmon /report → press Enter. This generates a system health report with performance issues.
2. Check for Corrupt Files: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

      
      sfc /scannow
   

   If issues are found, follow up with:

      
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
   

   1. Check Resource Usage: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) → Go to Performance tab to monitor CPU, RAM, and Disk usage. If a specific app is consuming resources, consider updating or disabling it.

If the issue persists, check for Windows updates or reinstall the OS.
