    Computer suddenly started lagging


    My laptop suddenly started to lag like crazy. I was running just fine yesterday, and I don’t do anything crazy on it like keeping a million chrome tabs open. Windows defender says I don’t have a virus. My laptop is pretty good (Core i5, GTX 1650, 8 GB RAM). What can I do to help return my PC to normal.

    Random lag spikes

    Hi,

    We would like to know more about your lag issue:

    • What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
    • Does the lag occur in a particular game?

    In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.
    • Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Computer starts randomly lagging

    Sorry to clarify, the internet is not lagging. By lagging I mean the computer is freezing (not completely) and it takes like a couple of second for each action to go through. For example clicking on the window icon > power > shut down, these steps could take up like a minute.

    I've ran ESET OnlineScan and it found no malware. I'm also using malwarebyte and windows security and scheduled to scan everyday so I don't think I have a virus. (I never download anything phishy either).

    I've ran all these as well:
    DISM /Online /CLEANUP-IMAGE /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RestoreHealth
    SFC /scannow

    I tried using Driver Easy to update my drivers. The thing with this is it's so random. It hasn't happened since I last posted in this thread then just now it happened again randomly *Sad

    I don't remember when it started happening because it's been a while and I've just lived with it whenever it happens I just restart my pc. Is there some kind of error logging I can view as soon as it happens after I restart my pc?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Anyone have idea? *Sad

    Computer suddenly started lagging

    Computer-Lagging

    So recently about few days ago my pc started to lag. Like suddenly~ It lags on a regular basis like even in window or when I open a program or when turning on the pc. When openning a program it takes a long time to open it, for example like after I turned on real1player the movie seems to lag. I couldn't even open the internet explorer. Then when trying to close it, everything becomes not responding.
    I don't know what the problem is, but thanks if anyone would help out.
