Experiencing slowness onthe computer.

Hi,

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

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  Was it an upgrade or an update?
  
• 
  If it was an upgrade, which was the previous operating system installed on the device?
  
• 
  If it was an update which update did you install?
  

I would like to inform you that it is bit difficult to pin point on what exactly causes the issue, however we will narrow down the issue one by one and find a suitable solution.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run the
System Maintenance troubleshooter which finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

• Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.
• Select Troubleshooting and hit Enter.
• Click on View all in the left pane of the window.
• Select System Maintenance.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

Also check if the computer is using its full memory.

• Press Windows key + R and type msconfig.
• Go to Advance options and check if you have chosen use Maximum memory.

If not, I suggest you to place a check mark, restart the computer and check if that helps.

Hope the information helps in resolving the computer slowness. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
