PC Running Slow

[Burke 1st MRB]

From the moment I turn my PC on it takes forever to load could possibly take 5-30 minutes to get me to my windows log in. When I'm finally able to log in then takes a further 10-20 minutes trying to load up my load in apps when I finally think everything's loaded up I start clicking around like I usually do but every click seems to send a freeze spike this even when I'm trying to close a application it is litreally unbareable to even try and use. Does anyone have any suggestions for me because I'm at the point of chucking it out window lol it is only a year old.

the times you describe are insane. An hour to turn on the computer is more than some configuration, possibly a hard drive problem.  Check its status and if it is well connected.

I'm not a expert but there's a few thing you can do that might help out

 

1. Open task manager then go to "Start Up" tab and disable

all apps that you do not want running in the background.

 

2. hit windows logo key+R and type MSCONFIG and scroll until you find Sysmain, then disable it ... what this service does it that; pre-load programs for you when you start the pc up  and most of the time it ends up slowing you pc up with time.

 

3. clear temp and %temp% files and you can do that through

hitting windows logo key + R type temp then Ctrl+A delete all, repeat the same thing but for %temp% folder

 

 

4. if you have an Hard drive consider defragment, if you have an ssd don't do this step because it'll effect it negatively.

 

5. Not enough space, check your main desk see if it's full or not. If it's full it might cause some of the problems you mentioned.

 

6. your device might be infected, open task manager and see if you can spot out of place programs that are highly intensive on ram or cpu or disk, if that's the case try shutting it down and see if there's any difference. In case that's it, you'll have to purge it.

 

7. check if you have windows updates installing in the background, sometimes that can cause lagging and slow performance.

 

These are some of the step I go through when my device gets slow. I hope some of these steps help you.
