I bought a new laptop 3 days ago with windows 10 installed in it. But programs are running too slow. Even on start up or rebooting. Pretty sure it has no virus as it was brand new. Help me please!!

It is possible that the laptop could have simply be poorly designed by Asus or you simply have one that s bad. Below is a review of a HP Stream 11 laptop with the dual core Celeron N3050 with 2GB of RAM; which should be basically the same as your Asus laptop. However, it only has 32GB of eMMC (like a flash drive) storage instead of a 500GB hard drive.

Performance seems to be okay given the low cost of the laptop. No complaints about very long boot times and the reviewer even tested Minecraft and League of Legends on the HP Stream 11. He did not do any multitasking (loading more than 1 program) though which makes sense because it only has 2GB of RAM.

2GB of RAM is not a lot. All the...
If you are still experiencing this problem even after a year of reinstalling windows and bloatware, I would talk with an Asus representative and see if they can help. If they say that you need to return the device, I would do it assuming it is still under warranty. If it is not then try doing a clean install which only put the basic things from microsoft and uninstall anything you dont need. Then use the machine without wifi to see if the problem occurs. Make sure that there is no update to any of the software. This will tell you if it is windows 10 messing up your system or if you have got a bad unit from Asus.

Let me know if this helps.
