Windows 10 / All functions extremely slow

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

Try to disable all startup apps in Task manager to isolate the issue whether an app or possibly a virus is auto-starting on Windows causing the issue.

You can also do an in-place upgrade repair to reinstall and repair the whole Windows operating system without deleting any apps or files. Follow these links for the guide.

If the issue will still persists after that, I suggest backing up your important files and then doing a full factory reset on Windows using the Cloud download option to fully refresh the system. Follow this link for the guide. Do note that if you have backed up your files already, you can select remove everything on the reset process instead of keep my files.

Update me on the results afterward.

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for your suggestions. I forgot to mention but I have already tried disabling all startups apps (except for the audio driver) to no luck.

Running CCleaner, I found out a script related to a software I have recently installed was starting up with no permission and I unistalled it, but again got nothing out of it.

One more thing I think is worth mentioning is that the laptop is incredibly slow even if started in safe mode with no network.

I'm going to try the in-place upgrade repair next. I'm a bit disheartened though - I think this may be beyond anything I can do.

Please let me know if the new info may be of any extra help.

Best,

Hi again. It seems the system might be corrupted. You can try the in-place upgrade repair but note that if that will not resolve the issue, you may need to do a full factory reset to fully refresh the Windows operating system.
