Lag in every action

[mdgdb]

It just does not feel right to simply let this fly. I have to say something. Since relatively recently and after one of the updates/upgrades, there is this noticeable lag with absolutely EVERYTHING! Open a photo – there’s a lag. Open a browser – there’s a lag. Open a Notepad – there’s a lag. Click to Save the file in Notepad, Word, Excel, anything – there’s a lag. Close a file – there’s a lag. It is half a second to a whole second delay in doing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. So, what is it doing in the background? Stripping all the info it can get and shipping it off… where? To train some AI? For this kind of fancy machine and the price tag to match, to be chocking like this every step of the way, it is absolutely appalling! Fancy crap all right. And this is very consistent. It is ALL THE TIME, always, whenever. Ever since that one update a while ago. I wish I had noted the date once I became aware of it, but alas, I didn’t. But I would say that it can’t be more than 4 – 6 months ago. I have a few other laptops around, one is HP Win 7, the other is Dell Windows 10, and one more HP with Win 11, even my desktop at work, and it is ONLY this fancy ZBook that is doing this! Is there anything HP can say?

Oh yeah, that was meant to be “choking”, not “chocking”.

Also to add, I noticed that any time it goes into screensaver mode, it starts revving up like crazy.

I work on a different computer during business hours, and Zbook sits mostly idle, so I can claim with certainty that this is what it does every time it turns off the screen. That is just odd, isn’t it.

Is there any clue why all this is happening on such a high-end workstation?
