Hi @crkloppy,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

A slow HP ENVY x360 laptop, especially when working with Citrix, can be really frustrating. Here are some steps you can try to improve its performance.

Check for Background Processes:

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check if there are any processes consuming a lot of resources. End tasks that are unnecessary but make sure they are not critical system processes.

Update Windows and Drivers:

• Ensure Windows is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
• Update your drivers, especially graphics and network drivers. Visit HP’s support site or use Windows Update for driver updates.

Check Citrix Settings:

• Ensure your Citrix client is updated to the latest version.
• Try adjusting the performance settings in Citrix. Lowering the display resolution or disabling unnecessary features can help.

Check for Malware:

• Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or any other reputable antivirus software.

Free Up Disk Space:

• Delete unnecessary files and programs. Use Disk Cleanup (search for it in the Start menu) to remove temporary files and system cache.

Optimize Startup Programs:

• Open Task Manager, go to the Startup tab, and disable programs that you don’t need to launch at startup.

Check for Hardware Issues:

• Ensure your laptop’s cooling system is clean and functioning properly. Overheating can cause slow performance.
• Consider running HP Support Assistant or Diagnostics to check for hardware issues.

Upgrade RAM or SSD:

• If your laptop has insufficient RAM or a traditional HDD, upgrading to an SSD and adding more RAM can significantly improve performance.

Adjust Power Settings:

• Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional power settings and select High performance.

Reinstall Citrix:

• Sometimes reinstalling the Citrix client can resolve performance issues.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
