Product: HP Pavillion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
My laptop had started slowing down, so last night when I found a message to install HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows I downloaded it. My computer slowed down even more. I uninstalled it this morning, but my laptop is running even slower, MS Word and Outlook are not responding. What have I done and can I undo it?
