  1. Computer keeps slowing down


    Hey guys,

    I recently got onto my computer and it was acting really strange. It suddenly got slow for some reason. So I looked on the web, I scanned for viruses, freed up some space, updated my drivers & software. It was still the same thing and I feel like upgrading to Linux, I had this issue for awhile. My FPS dropped to about 20-30 FPS.

    Any ideas?

    :)

  4. Computer keeps slowing down

    slowness in computer usage.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    • What makes you think that system is running slow? Is it when you are trying to run application?

    • Did you install any third party security application?
    From the screenshot that you have provided, I understood that it’s not the issue with the disk usage. The slowness might be due to the memory usage.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run maintenance task and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows key + X from the desktop.

    • Select Control panel and Select System and Security.

    • Click on Troubleshoot common computer problems under System and maintenance.

    • Now Run maintenance task under
      System and security
      .
    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
