My Windows 10 is running slow. How do I fix it?

Answer 1

My name is Rhaine, I'm Independent Community Volunteer. I’m so glad assisting you today

I am also Windows 10 user. Let us work together to sort this out.

You can try to perform the steps below.

SFC Scan

-This process will perform scan for any corrupted system files or integrity violation and will attempt to repair it along with the Windows Image.

1. Windows Key+ R
2. Type CMD right click and run as administrator.
3. Copy and paste this command sfc /scannow

Method 2: Perform DISM

I would also suggest you to run the System update readiness command. It detects incorrect manifests, cabinets or registry data, it may replace the incorrect data with corrected version available. Follow the steps.

1.  Press Windows key + X.
   

2.  Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
   

3.  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands.       Press Enter key after each command:
   

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Quick note: While the command is running, it's expected to see the process stuck at 20 or 40 percent. After a few minutes, the process will complete successfully.

Once done perform a cleanboot.

• This process will eliminate 3rd party application running in the background of your computer along with services that are not needed to run windows. If there's any conflicting 3rd party application that causes the issue on your computer, this process will stop it.

1. Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
2. System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
3. On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
4. Click on services tab
5. Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services > This is a very important part as if you miss to click on this, computer might not boot properly or permanently and will end up on clean installation.
6. Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
7. Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
8. Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
9. Click OK , Apply and close the configuration utility
10. If the pc asked you to restart your pc.

I hope the information above helps. Have a nice day ahead and be safe. Please let me know how it goes.

With Warm Regards
