My HP laptop has been very slow lately and sometimes freezes. I’m not sure what is causing it and would like help fixing it.  It takes a long time to start up and open apps. Sometimes it freezes for a few seconds and then starts working again. I have not installed anything new recently, so I’m not sure what is causing the issue. I mainly use my laptop for school work and browsing the internet.

 

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I can fix it?
