Windows 10: Why is my Gaming Laptop so slow even with High Memory Availability?

While I was using my laptop, I encountered a bluescreen. Ever since, I am unable to operate as I usually do. The device became so slow even when there's a high memory availability. I have checked the reliability monitor and I've found this critical issue: DescriptionA problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.Faulting Application Path: C:\Windows\System32\drvinst.exeProblem signatureProblem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1Application Name: drvinst.exeApplication Version: 10.0.22621.4541Application

Windows High Memory Usage Slowing Down PC

Recently my Windows PC has slowed down a lot, so much so that I can't run many games that I used to be able to. I tried to diagnose the issue and, although I'm not certain, I think it might be a problem with high memory usage. Right now the only major process I have running is Chrome and my computer is at 46% memory being used (with 11% of that being Chrome). However, even without chrome running I'm unable to run many games and just earlier today I was having trouble even navigating the windows settings menu because of the slow speeds. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions- any help is greatly appreciated!

 

100% disk utilisation slowing laptop

Hi Mara May,

Thank you for your assistance, I have had to type this in WORD and copy paste into the thread here due to all things through Chrome and Edge are so slow.

• Windows is always up to date with all updates.
  
• Norton Utilities is also up to date
  

• I have already done the following:
  
  • Tested HDD with HP Startup Menu and disk is 100% in order
    
  • Carried out SFC scan and corrupt files repaired
    
  • Did a DSIM restore health and no issues found-Disk utilisation is now generally below 50%
    
  • When using Chrome browser, to access this chat for example, its very slow with Disk utilisation at 10% or so but Memory at 55% with Chrome using most of it always.
    
  • So the problem is partially resolved except for when using Chrome
    
  • With Edge the memory goes up to 62% and HDD 100%
    
  • Did you suggested :Methods” 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
    
• I have not done a “clean boot” as it scares me at this stage.
  

It seems to be an issue between Chrome/Edge browsers as when I use Office 365’s Outlook, Word etc, the speed is now OK. Also the Disk utilisation seems to be generally acceptable but memory high that may be slowing the laptop down?

I have had issues with Teams simultaneously in that it’s so slow but with Zoom its normal, coincidence?

I look forward to your further suggestions.

Regards
