HP Recommended
Product: HP 15s-du3032TU

Hi everyone,

I have an HP 15s-du3032TU with an Intel Core i3-1115G4, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD, running Windows 11.

Recently, my laptop has become noticeably slower. Windows takes longer to start, applications take several seconds to open, and the system sometimes freezes briefly when I have multiple programs running.

I mainly use the laptop for web browsing, Microsoft Office, and managing my website [link removed]I checked Task Manager and noticed that memory usage often goes above 80%, even when I don't have many applications open.

I have already restarted the laptop and installed the latest Windows updates, but the performance issue is still present.

Could someone please advise me on what I should check first? I would like to know whether the problem could be related to background processes, Windows services, drivers, or the 8 GB RAM.

What troubleshooting steps would you recommend before considering a hardware upgrade?

Thanks in advance for your help.
