Slow laptop after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi, Krystifer Colli-Biondi

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

Method 1:

I would suggest you to Run maintenance task and check if it helps.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running at the same time.

Follow the below steps:

1. Press Windows + X on the keyboard.
2. Select Control Panel.
3. Select Troubleshooting.
4. Click on Run maintenance task under System and Security.

Method 2:

To defragment your hard disk

1. Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Startbutton. In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.
2. Under Current status, select the disk you want to defragment.
3. To determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of fragmentation on the disk in the Last Run column. If the number is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.

1. Click Defragment disk.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Method 3:

If issue still persist, you can try Clean Boot and check if it helps.

i have the same problem, the Microsoft tech support never answers this, they only say the same but the troubleshooting does nothing

very frustrating sice the very DAY I received the upgrade:(the same issue of many others, from THE moment of W10 update, my laptop is so slow that I am unable to enjoy any W10 features. the more that's running the worse. so FYI, heres a list.... cant download minecraft WildTangeant games. cant utilize the microphone to use commands due to lag, the tab bar and commands too slow to pop up, cant watch movies on my favorite websites (wont even play now either! have to use external links) and videos on youtube  load and loa, lag isvery bad on 240p and aboveHD, just downloaded wild tangeant and its too slow to play games. ive deleted all unused programs, and system mait. is ran weekly.  I feel like back to the old lap top I threw out for this newer one and now this one feels like my 2 old ones. I would love to get use to the new windows 10 layout and features, however, its too frustrating when all you notice is a LAG. I hope this issue can be resolved in an update- this can take hours....I am defraying now...see how it goes... trust me , I am your biggest fan-  want to enjoy benifts of W10 and enjoy my laptop!!!!
