Windows takes an inordinate amount of time to start up/restart/resume
HP desktop i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.41GHz 16GB RAM Win 10 Home
While this computer has a good amount of RAM, it goes from restart to "severely congested/slow to resumefrom sleep" fairly quickly (a couple of days).
Now I admit that my practice of keeping several workspaces open, each with one or several instances of Opera and Firefox, each of which has multiple tabs (which I find very convenient) uses a lot of this RAM, it is now much worse than it used to be. Also the computer normally is used several hours daily.
Is this likely caused by a need to defrag? (I have not been doing it because I have had in mind that Win 10 does not need defragging?) But if so, how often should a defrag be done?
Or is it likely sole due to my practice described above, or something else? What can I do to gather helpful information on this? Thanks.
