@Syfaro,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Community,

• Have you run complete hardware diagnostics on the computer to eliminate hardware failure?
• Did this happen after a windows or software update do you remember?
• Have you run virus and spyware scans on the machine?
   
• For a start, please perform complete hardware diagnostics on the computer to ensure that the hardware is fully functional.
• If any failure code gets displayed for a failed component, then please make a note of it. The computer needs to be serviced as it could have a hardware failure. Please run both extensive tests and component tests. It takes about 2 hours to run.
• If all the tests pass, then please run virus and spyware scans with very reliable security software to quarantine them or delete them if found.

• Next thing, I would suggest here is to Run Windows Updates troubleshooter -

  Download and install the troubleshooter from this link.

  Now try to perform a Windows update:

  1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates. 

  2) Check for updates. 

  3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.

  If the issue still persists, I would suggest here is to update the Bios, chipset and graphics card drivers on your computer from  HP Support Assistant Updates - 

  1) In the search box, type and open HP Support Assistant. 
  2) Check for updates. 
  3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer. 

• Later please perform all the prescribed steps from this document for slow performance issues. Please perform only those steps that have not been done yet by you.
• Also please perform all the prescribed steps from this document HP PCs - Using Task Manager (Windows 10, 😎
• Please check which process is eating up CPU and computer resources and make a note of it Then follow all the steps mentioned in the document to try and resolve the issue.
• Please check this Microsoft document for enhancing performance issues and perform the relevant steps.
