Laptop lagging while working.
Looks like there's been an update to the forums since I last visited. I will go over the tutorials later tonight, but right now I'm technically at work, even though I do work from home. I can't really discuss what I do for work and for whom because I signed a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). What I can say is I do various types of tasks on my computer. It's recommended that I use Chrome as it's a more efficient browser the Edge-Explorer or Firefox.
This is the main problem. It takes too long for each new task to load on my system. Some of these tasks can take as little as 10 or 15 seconds to complete and pay .10 each. Done quickly enough I've made as much as $20 per hour! But now in the time it takes for one task to load, I could have done 2 or 3 more tasks. I've done most common things like cleared cookies, history. Double checked hard drive and it's not fragmented, and so on.
Here's my dilemma. The last time I used CCleaner, it really jacked up my system forcing me to reinstall Windows 10. I do not want to repeat that experience. I need to spend my time working not a day or two reinstalling and configuring my system! I have been told by folks on here with much more experience with computers that some of the more common system maintenance and performance type software isn't all that great, that I should or could use just what comes with Windows. I'd like to get more opinions about this, especially after that horrid experience I had with CCleaner!
