Windows 10: Hitmanpro.alert, latest update slowing down computer?

Hi!

I've noticed that my laptop's functions seem quite bogged down for about a week or so. Just everything slow to open, programs slow to execute, whether it's a browser or Outlook or even a folder in Explorer. I have had to click more than once with the mouse to get anything to execute, it's just not normal behaviour. I am trying to figure out if it is related to the latest update of HitmanPro Alert, which I think is about the time this started. Does anyone here use this product? Any issues? I've turned it off for now to see if that helps, and so far the laptop is behaving properly.

This is 3.7.9, build 771 of HitmanPro Alert.

I am using Windows Defender and no other real time monitoring besides HitmanPro Alert.

my windows 10 pc got really slow although CPU and memory usage is fine. what else can I do?

the last cumulative Windows 10 Update KB3156421 can causes the slowness. Try to disable Cortana:

• Click in the Cortana search box to bring up Cortana
  
• Click the Notebook
  
• Click Settings
  
• Move the slider under “Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts and more.” to “Off”.
  

if this doesn't fix it, try to uninstall the update and use the Windows Update MiniTool to hide the update.
