Hi everyone,Several days ago I started having performance issues when ever I attempt to play games on my computer.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

Computer performance suddenly dipped

Hi Zach,

My name is Jocelyn, an independent advisor and a fellow Windows 10 user happy to help.

I am sorry to hear all your troubles. And I appreciate the steps you have taken so far to resolve the issue. Let me give you some suggestions to improve the performance of your PC.

You can work your way through the suggestions in any order you desire or skip some steps if you have already done doing it.

Step 1: Make sure you have all the latest Windows updates installed.

Select the Start (Windows) button from the bottom-left corner.

Go to Settings (gear icon).

Select the Update and Security icon.

Choose Windows Update tab in the sidebar (Circular arrows)

Select Check for updates. If there is an available update, it will begin downloading automatically.

Step 2:

There could be many reasons why your computer running slow during start-up, sometimes a slow computer is caused by programs running in the background. Check and remove or disable any TSRs and startup programs that automatically start each time the computer boots.

Right-click on your taskbar (at the bottom of the screen) and open Task Manager. Click on the Startup tab, and review for any applications that may be set to run at startup.

Step 3: Delete temp files that can help improve computer performance.

Open the Start menu and type %temp% in the Search field.

Press Enter and a Temp folder should open.

You can delete all files found in this folder and, if any files are in use and cannot be deleted, they can be skipped.

Step 5: Run SFC Scannow

Press Windows Key+X to open the Power User Tasks Menu.

Select Command Prompt (Admin).

After the User Account Control prompt appears. Click Yes.

At the Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.

Click on the drive you want to defrag and optimize.

Click the Optimize button to being the defragmentation and optimization process.
