    Win 10 PC is lagging


    My notepad is lagging when typing text reminiscent of old XP days..
    My browsers are lagging as if on old time dial up speed.
    Re-starting doesn't fix things.
    I have Malwarebytes Premium which cant see anything wrong.

    Any tweaking suggestions?

    Task Manager tells me zilch. It just shows the 3 browsers as working. And Malwarebytes. Nothing else at all.Win 10 PC is lagging-tm-1.png

    How much free space do you have on C: ?

    Please complete your specs, including disks.

    Hi. I use to visit often back in the day with Win 7. I'm out of practice with things PC.

    Is there a widget I can run to fetch the specs? The Tuts are too cluttered. Can't find the 'How to'

    Thank you. Do the task manager column headings show low %ges - just to check?

    And to compare, boot to Safe Mode. Do you notice any lag then?

    Have you used any driver update tools?

    - but your specs are for a desktop.

    So... what's your notepad/laptop? And about how old is it?

    It's a desktop. 4-5 yrs old. Assembled by local PC shop.
    Notepad lagging = just typing text such as this reply to thread is like watching an old telex machine punch out the story.
    I refreshed this page as it was still open. Took 20+ seconds. (I'm in Sydney with broadband.)
    Just to scroll down the front page of Youtube is torture as each thumbnail loads as if on old dial-up.
    The issue is this PC not the broadband as my wife's PC is fine.

    Thank you for clarifying the notepad/desktop matter.

    Please boot to Safe Mode with Networking.
    Again as I asked above, in Safe Mode confirm whether there is any lag when typing.
    Compare both typing in, say Wordpad, and a browser.

    Compare the browser responsiveness.
