Windows 10: The laptop is so slow and freezes time to time

Hi!!,I have a Hp pavilion 15 p214dx with i7 dual-core CPU, 6GB ram, and 750GB HDD. It's about 7 years old and the laptop is super slow. It freezes every time when I open photoshop and I cannot do multitask with it cuz it gets stuck all the time. Like should I change the processor or is it the end of the laptop? Like I don't have a backup device so I cannot wait till it dies as I have very important files in it so I looking forward to a reply

:)

 

Keyboard freezing from time to time

I am currently running Windows 10 v 1909 but with an Update that was installed two or three weeks ago my keyboard began to freeze. At first, it was very subtle, but now it freezes every two or three seconds and the characters I typed appear all at once after
waiting for some time (four more seconds).

The very same issue is described in

Random keyboard freezing, stuttering typing and typing delays - Windows 10 Support

https://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/418209-mouse-keyboard-freeze.html

I tried to attach a second keyboard to see if it is the problem, but the other one freezes too. I wasn't yet able to find out whether they freeze simultaneously or not.

My pc is rather old, but I bought a new SSD half a year ago (Crucial) and added some used 2 gb of RAM (maybe they're broken).

In these posts I was told to perform

• an sfc scan, which found some bad files but apparently everything is repaired now
• a memory check (don't remember how), which didn't report anything bad
• a checkdisk on my Windows disk, of which I didn't got any report at all (?)

However the problem isn't really fixed by any of these steps. Can anyone help me on fixing this?

 

Changing Time Format

Hi Mary,

There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
  Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
  Region window.
• From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
• Click Reset; then, OK.

The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
