Your Windows PC is running slowly
A slow computer means too many startup programs, not enough RAM, or a full hard drive. Open Task Manager and look at what's using the most CPU and RAM. Disable unnecessary startup programs first.
Your PC is slow because too many programs start at boot, you don't have enough RAM, or your disk is almost full. Disabling unnecessary startup programs is the fastest fix. If that doesn't help, check if something is using all your CPU or RAM right now.
