Unsure what flair to use sorry.
My computer takes forever to open any application, will not open tabs on google, will not respond for minutes on end while opening stuff it normally opens straight away, etc etc.
Checked task manager, no apps are taking up to much usage, cpu appears fine, ram appears fine, gpu, ssd, hdd, psu all fine and dandy or so it seems.
Nothing malicious, no virues, have had windows defender and my own antivirus go through everything on my computer.
Nothing is working and i can’t find a route cause so it’s just very frustrating and any help would be appreciated, thank you all!
Backup your data and re-install Windows. Much faster than trying to troubleshoot an old system IMO.
PC specs? Operating system? Age?
Would I be fine to just reset it and choose keep my files rather than having to backup everything. Or do you reckon its worth the wait to back everything up?
Will give that a go now and i’ll update once its done.
Windows 10 3 year old system Nothing is outdated or anything like that, it just started acting up a little over the last day or two and in the last couple hours is just borderline unusable.
Everything works! Still have all my stuff just need to reinstall alot of it otherwise computer is back to working as per usual :) thank you very much!
