Try this
a. Go to Start a Search and type in background apps. Click on that. Deactivate ALL background apps. b. Use Ccleaner and clean up the HD and also the registery. c. Go to resource monitor. Feedback on the 4 main parameters on usage. See which one is at high load. Maybe not enough RAM? Etc. d. Uninstall programs you dont need anymore. Installed programs will use up your RAM, CPU etc EVEN when you are NOT running them. Eg I have this Drivermax program, I run it every few weeks. But when I look at the resource monitor, can see it running even though I did not ask it ro run. This post has been edited by plumberly: Aug 13 2020, 10:02 AM |

QUOTE(wan7075 @ Jul 24 2020, 12:37 AM) Hi, i'm buying Asus vivobook (4gb ram, 500gb hdd) with the win10. The obvious answer to your problem is removing the Windows autobackup file that added along the time. Lots of people don't realize the although useful when restoring Windows in case or screw ups can restore to the last good boot up. Just need to remove all those old version & leave latest 2-3 dates & you will be fine. FYI, this slowness as a result of capacity full affects all OS regardless, Android & IOS also not immune to it when phone is full. My advice is to keep your Windows 10 as it optimize system better than Windows 7 OS.I only use laptop for surf net or excel. No playing game. After 2 years, my laptop now become very slow(actually is lag like hell) and the disc usage always show 100%. Due to the ram is built in on motherboard, so I can't add more ram for my laptop. So, i'm planning to downgrade my win10 to win7 as I only surf net and excel. May I know win7 still can be used on my laptop? Because I Heard some people said win7 already not supported by Microsoft. Thank you. |

TS,
Just follow the good advice here to switch to SSD. I was using normal HD until I jumped into Crucial MX500 SSD (1 TB) and that decision makes everything worthwhile for me. Love the speed right now on my old AIO PC. |
