Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!
Just to confirm, the main issue is that the laptop is slow? Have you noticed any changes before the issue started? Have you installed any hardware or software that may trigger the issue? While waiting for your response, kindly follow the steps below:
Do a clean boot:
A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.
- In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
- On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
- On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
- Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
- Close Task Manager.
- On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.
