    Windows freezing and lagging.


    Recently I reinstalled windows 10 because I had an absurd amount of files and other applications I don't need. I figure the performance would increase also the disc was filling up. I cloned my ssd and reinstalled it. But after I reinstalled it, windows started freezing all the time. Some times when I launch apps they give an error. Some apps flicker black for a second. Today chrome said it ran out of ram even though the task manager said I was only using 9% memory. I have only downloaded a few apps since I have gotten window including:

    • VSCode
    • Node
    • Python
    • Discord
    • Pycharm
    • Windows terminal
    • & a few other I cant remember.


    Is it possible I need to update my drivers? If so is there a way to quickly see what drivers need updating un bulk? Also, in case it helps, when I first booted up windows I went through updates a and security and installed a few updates from there.

    :)

    Looking forward to your response.
