Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting slow performance issues on your notebook, I am glad to assist you.

Common causes of slow system performance:

Applications that require a lot of system resources. 

Too many tasks running at the same time. 

Nonessential graphic features. 

Not enough memory. 

Overheating due to intensive graphic applications or dust in vents. 

Running multiple instances of anti-virus software.
