Sluggish laptop since a couple of days
In a matter of weeks, both my laptops have become slow. First, my Z20t that became completely unworkable and had to reinstall it. And now my X220T is experiencing similar problems. Not as bad as the Z20t (I'm sure it helps that it has an i5 instead of an m5 CPU), but I can see the start menu lagging and, more annoyingly, when typing in Excel or RStudio, the text shows up with a delay. The whole experience is just sluggish.
I ended up reinstalling my Z20t and it works as fast as it ever was, but I don't want to do a clean install of my work pc. That will take me much too long.
I have tried:
- rebooting, wait for every background process to load and try Excel/RStudio/Edge without anything running
- checking the task manager (nothing shows any high CPU use, the lagging doesn't seem to be related to high use)
What could be wrong?
