General Sluggishness on New Laptop
Okay so a little background, I've had multiple windows laptops in the past couple years, and I've had the SAME problem among all of them that I use. I also have a desktop with Windows 10 on it that does not show these symptoms.
The main couple of things I notice that shows this sluggishness is first the task switching via ALT + TAB. When I first restart the laptop (now I recently bought an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576G-5762 and am currently using it) or when I restart explorer.exe in task manager, everything is fine and great and the alt tabbing works super quick. As time goes on however, it just gets progressively slower and I can feel it.
Also, a couple of programs are just noticeably slow always, such as Discord, where the scrolling is just really laggy and hard to navigate, and often times chrome.
My two things I think may be the problem is the ram (I have 16gb and it never goes above 8 so like I'm not sure why that would cause any issues, I've removed 1 stick and tried just 8gb and got the same result) as well as using a different ISO of windows. Sometimes in the past reinstalling a new ISO of windows would help but EVENTUALLY it would go back to how it is acting right now.
It has been plaguing me for years and I can't figure out why. It has to be a software issue. Any ideas?
