1) HP Bios Update

2) Disable Windows Search

3) Disable SuperFetch

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.

Turning off nonessential graphical features to improve system performance 

Graphical features and programs can use a lot of system resources. 

Turning off these features can improve system performance. 

This section explains how to adjust visual effects for best performance and how to disable Windows Aero.
