Hello, @himanshu1994 – Hope you are well 🙂

May the Forums be with you!  It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel!

I see that you are having issues with the notebook performance. Appreciate all your efforts so far. To assist you better, I need to know about the task manager details.

Open the windows task manager. Check the CPU usage, memory etc. Take a picture and attach it with the reply. Also, are you facing the performance issue while running a specific program or is t a general issue? Let me know these details.

Alternatively, let’s try the steps below to try and fix the issue:

Disable Programs Running at Startup:
 

1. Press the Windows button and "R" at the same time.
2. Type “msconfig” without the quotes in the run window and press "Enter" on the keyboard.
3. The Task manager window pops up. Click on the "Startup" tab and you will see a list of programs that run at startup.
4. Right-click on the applications that you don't want to run at startup and select "Disable".

If the issue persists, try some additional steps as suggested here: http://hp.care/2pThzHS 

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!

Good luck 🙂

Hello, @himanshu1994

I see that the RAM is less and only 2.1 GB is available. The laptop will be slightly slow when you only have 4GB RAM.

But, if the machine is clearly slow, even considering the RAM, then I'd suggest you perform a hardware test to determine any issues. Here are the steps:

1)      Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

2)      Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc to get the Startup menu. Now press F2 key.

3)      The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu is displayed.

4)      Select the System test and select Extensive test.

NB: While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component are shown on the screen. The test can take 2 or more hours to complete.

If the test passes, then please let me know how you have performed the recovery. Did you perform the recovery using the Recovery Discs or by using the recovery partition?

Thanks, I will watch for your reply!

Cheers 🙂

Hello, @himanshu1994

 Appreciate your efforts in performing the tests. You have already performed a recovery from the disc. Once you perform the recovery, was PC be working faster till you uploaded other software or was the PC slow soon after the recovery? 

If the PC was slow after installing other software, may be one of that software is causing the issue. I'd suggest doing a recovery using the disc and then installing the software one by one while checking the PC performance to identify the problem software.

If you have any troubles, let me know and I will do my best to help!

Thank you!

Hello, @himanshu1994

If the laptop is slow immediately after the recovery, then the issue could be with the hardware.
