My Windows 10 desktop sometimes goes very slow and everything is delayed, I have to restart constantly and it's getting irritating, anybody know any possible causes or solutions?
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6400 2.7 Ghz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 530
RAM: 8 GB
Windows 10 64-bit
Please advise if you see the same thing
a. in Safe Mode
b. after a clean boot

Please also post a screenshot of your task manager when your PC is nominally idle (click on column headings to put anything of interest at the top).
Please post a screenshot of your settings here like this:
Please download and run Crystal Diskinfo (free) and post the result shown (quick blue/orange/red) indication.
Please do this routine scan to check your file system:
From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:

Your PC slowing down could be anything from resource issues to hardware, malware to 3rd party programs. Many things.
What is your exact PC model? (Please add to specs including disk drive details - see mine for example)
Do you have Norton anti virus installed? I have found that my pc will slow down when a full scan is running.
