    Pc suddenly slowed down. Games are on 20fps and system struggling in general


    I am experiencing some lags with my pc. All of the sudden it slowed down, when I try to play a game on steam it runs on 20fps, file Explorer is really slow. Uninstalling apps takes longer than usual and it keeps struggling to perform. On task manager the performance seems to be perfect. Hw info didn't show any problem as per ssd ram cpu etc. I did some sfc scannow where it found some corrupted files but it is still having issues.

    :)

    My gaming laptop is suddenly running very slow

    I've been struggling with this issue for a while now, and I can't take it anymore. My laptop is unbearably slow! I was playing some games as usual (without plugging the laptop into the wall), and when the battery got low, it naturally slowed down and started lagging. I thought it was just because of the low battery, but after plugging it in, the performance didn't improve. I did a fresh install of Windows, hoping that would fix the problem, but my laptop's performance hasn't improved at all. If anyone can help me resolve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Here are the specs of my laptop, in case they are needed:

    MSI Raider GE67HX 12UGS

    • Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12800HX 2.00 GHz
    • Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
    • System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    • OS: Windows 11 Pro
