Hi Everyone,

I have looked around admittedly i haven't really found anything specific to my issue, maybe im not looking in the right places, sorry in advance if i did.

I have an HP 15.6inch f018ca laptop, its the n2480 celeron one. it started running sluggish, no BSODs not pop up errors just very sluggish even my daughter's game Roblox is now sluggish, i had a spare HDD and ram stick so i switched those out , who knows maybe it'll cure it. so i installed win10 fresh, made sure the BIOS was up to date and all that jazz but its still very sluggish.

you can browse relatively problem free even youtube is sorta ok. but anything else. you wait, even clicking on apps the buttons react 15 seconds later.

thank you in advance for your help.

any ideas?

Asc.

Have you checked for anything running in the background that could be using up resources? Apps, malware, viruses, all that stuff can cause it.
