[jadejmay]

Hi,

I recently bought a HP ENVY X360 and it's really slow, it sometimes takes up to 15 minutes to start up, it freezes alot and sometimes the screeen goes black and i can only see the mouse...

What can i do to make it faster? and to stop it from freezing?

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. I am sorry for the issues you experience with your new computer.

Let's try to find the culprit:

>> Using the UEFI option, test your computer for hardware failures - test RAM, test disk, system board. Here is how >> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03467259#AbT1

Please, note the results and post them back.

>> Is Windows fully updated ? It may be downloading/installing updates in the background and this may cause some freezing.

Please, check it is fully updated. I am afraid that in Windows 10 there is no way to stop installing updates (stop auto updates) other than bringing the computer offline which is not an option.

>> Please, install HP Support Assistant (if not already installed). Check for updates in drivers. Here is how:
