Good Day. A warm welcome to the HP community. I reviewed the case regarding issues with the computer. I will be delighted to assist you here.
I have a few steps to identify and resolve the issue:
Common causes of slow system performance:
-
Not enough free disk space or disk errors.
-
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.
