    At random times my PC starts to feel really laggy even if it CPU/RAM are at like 50% and the only thing that fixes it is restarting? Is anyone else having this issue?

    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?

    Anyone have idea? *Sad

    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.

    PC Randomly Starts Lagging

    Laptop randomly lags

    As mentioned in the title, my 2 year old laptop has started to lag randomly, and it does not revert back to normal by itself. A few weeks ago this happened too but it was easily fixed by doing a forced restart. But now, even with a forced restart, it starts
    lagging, even on startup.

    My performance settings are on best performance. I tried clean boot, it's still lagging upon startup. Any solutions would be appreciated.
