Step 2: Check for Windows Updates

  1. Open Settings > Windows Update.
  2. Click Check for updates and install any pending updates.
  3. Restart your laptop after installation.

 

Step 3: Update Drivers Manually

Step 4: Run HP Support Assistant

  2. Open the app and check for driver updates.
  3. Install recommended updates and restart your laptop.

 

Step 5: Perform a Disk Cleanup

  1. Open File Explorer and right-click C: Drive.
  2. Select Properties > Disk Cleanup.
  3. Check Temporary Files, System Files, and Recycle Bin, then click OK.

 

Step 6: Check for Hard Drive Issues

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator (Windows + X > Command Prompt (Admin)).
  2. Type:
    chkdsk /f /r
  3. Press Enter and restart your laptop.
