    Why is my Win10 PC running so slow?


    Hello

    My Windows 10 (x64) laptop is running very slow. How do I find out why?

    Background:
    - I have loads of disk space 315GB is free (on a 512GB solid state disk)
    - My Windows Task Manager doesn't seem too busy (usually at c. 10 to 20%)
    - Hardware:
    - Model: Samsung Series 7 Ultra Notebook 13.3" screen
    - RAM: 6GB
    - Processor: Intel Car i5-3337U CPU @1.80GHx

    - I have tried running MalwareBytes & SuperAntispyware, but they found nothing.
    - My antivirus is BitDefender Total Security (latest version, updated, running on Autopilot. Manual system scan found nothing bad.)
    - I have run all the Windows Updates
    - I have no games installed, but I have about 20 or so applications (e.g. MS Office365)
    - I re-installed everything about 1 year ago.

    Here is the specification for my hardware:

    Samsung Series 7 Ultra Notebook 128GB SSD 13.3" [laptop]
    RAM: 6GB DDR3 System Memory at 1600MHz
    Hard drive: SSD drive 512GB mSATA Samsung
    Model: NP740U3E-S04UK

    RAM: 6GB DDR3 System Memory at 1600MHz (on BD 2GB + 4GB x 1)
    Hard drive: SSD drive 512GB mSATA Samsung
    Processor: Intel Core i5 - 3337U (1.8GHz up to 2.7GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
    Chipset: Intel HM76 Express (motherboard??!)

    Many thanks

    J

    :)

    Hi,

    To assist you with your concern, we suggest you to run the System Maintenance Troubleshooter to check and see why your PC is running slow and unresponsive. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting. If you cant find the option, click View By and select Large Icons.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.
    • Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.
