Hello, I have an HP laptop with 32gb of RAM so it should be able to handle pretty intense multitasking.

However, I’ve recently encountered a problem when playing a youtube video and running a small game like hearthstone or enter the gungeon at the same time; the computer really slows down and starts lagging - my cursor starts moving really slowly as well. As soon as I pause the youtube video, it resumes running normally.

Anyone know what could be causing this issue? I used to be able to do this perfectly but just recently encountered the problem.

    Slowness that can be observed is not usually memory or CPU but rather hard drive activity.

    What is the make/model of your laptop and do u know if it has a SSD or traditional spinning hard drive?

    To verify you can open task manager and observer the processes and utilization
