Why has my Laptop suddenly started running slow
Hello
Why has my laptop (Samsung Series7 ULTRA) suddenly started running very slow?
e.g.
- opening Firefox takes 12 seconds (with no tabs open)
- opening Google Chrome takes about 12 to 20 seconds
- opening Outlook takes about 23 to 30 seconds
- Even CLOSING outlook can take 10 seconds
Basically, everything I do seems to have become incredibly 'laggy'.
Background
- My hard disk still has plenty empty space: 136GB of free space (out of 451GB on 512GB SSD)
- I have run C: [properties] ==> Error Checking ==> but it found no errors
- It has all the latest patches. It started running very, very slowly about 2 weeks ago.
- I have run Samsung Magician
- I never run any games
- Out of desperation I have uninstalled everything I don't need (using RevoUninstaller)
What should I do?
