    Sluggish laptop -- any suggestions?


    I have a year-old HP Spectre x360 laptop, 15-ch0xx. It has an Intel i7-8705g 3.10GHz CPU and 16GB RAM. Win10 Version 1903, build 18362.418.

    So it's a reasonably capable system -- and yet it is often/usually very sluggish. Hit the Windows key and it sometimes takes 5 seconds or more to display the popup window. I just started Quicken and it took 20 seconds to come up. Web pages often take 20 or more seconds to render, even though a speedtest.net check says I have 100Mbps with 20ms ping.

    It just feels clunky and slow much of the time. Sometimes it gets really bad, and I have to reboot. That generally helps.

    When it's doing this, typically nothing special is running. It might be at 10% CPU use until I try to do something "difficult" like launching Quicken. I haven't noticed any signs of thrashing, and often there is 4-6GB free when this happens. I can't understand why it's responding so slowly.

    Any suggestions? Any way to speed it up, or any ideas of things to monitor to find out what's going on?

    Thanks!

    :)
