Hi, ever since I got this laptop a few months ago it has been experiencing moments where it becomes extremely slow. This makes it very difficult as I am often on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other video/audio platforms and it seems that anyone listening to what I am saying cannot understand because it makes my voice very choppy and almost sounding "robotic". I have been trying to research what this could be caused by but there is nothing. When this happens I only have 1 or 2 programs opened such as Google Chrome and Zoom so I know it has nothing to do with how many programs are running at once. This needs to be solved immediately as this is very crucial to my work and is a major flaw of this computer. It was even extremely difficult to type this message because of how slow the computer gets. Please help me with this, and thank you.
Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz 1.50 GHz
Installed RAM: 12.0GB (11.8 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
