  1. Keyboard entry gradually slows over time; Resolves when I close/reopen browser


    Over the last 6 mos, my system seems to gradually slow down until I close and reopen the browser Edge or Chrome on Win10.

    • I ran system diagnostics on memory and network interfaces and have no issues. using Norton and Microsoft diagnostics
    • Problem resolves and then gradually returns.
    • Occurs when I use spreadsheets e.g., navigating between spreadsheet cells and using network cloud software e.g., TurboTax. The system just become unresponsive and it moves from being very responsive to data entry into a form or spreadsheet to gradually get slower and can take 30 seconds to get a response.
    • I defragged the disk and deleted temp files using Norton antivirus
    • Edge and Win10 are on latest release, as is Chrome browser when that is used.


    My pc is a laptop with an Intel I5 processor around 7 years old, and 6GB of main memory. Plenty of disk storage. When running the performance monitor I don't see any obvious issues of overloaded resources. Ethernet connected to a high speed network 25Mb/s upload and 3.5Mb/s download.


    Can't figure out what is wrong or next steps to diagnose issue.


    Any ideas would be appreciated.


    thank you

    :)
