Product: spectre x360

New computer.  Everything online lags or freezes?  Brand new  i7 with 16 ram.  Is this normal?

Hello @jkinsey1

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

 

No, it's not normal 🙂

 

1. Could you describe why do you believe it is slow and lags ? HP Spectre 360 is a flagship product and what I have seen has always been perfectly running.

 

2. If the computer is brand new it's most probably not a hardware problem but a software issue with Windows (10).

Could you perform a hardware diagnostics (F2) option ? Do a quick/fast test and let me know the results. Here is how to > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JXUp43ahHA

 

3. Do you have McAfee preinstalled on the computer ?

If YES, can you uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and features

When ready, restart the PC

Download and run McAfee uninstaller MCPR removal tool > http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp

Eventually, start the tool to remove everything

Restart the PC again

 

4. Ensure your Windows is completely updated and all updates are installed

 

5. Ensure all your drivers are updated - use the Device Manager methos and update all drivers including Network adapters, Video, Audio, etc... Here is how > https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

 

 

Let me know how it goes. Looking forward to your reply.

I took it back.  It didn't seem to be a good start.  I couldn't get very good answers about why.  I think because there weren't any, but my 15 days were up and I had already spent 2 work days fixing.

 

Was this just a lemon, or should I try something else?
