Ah yeah I couldn't figure it out. I decided against going back to the tech support guy and just get a new PC as it was already over 6 years old, and just build me a new computer. Sorry I can't help you more!

Unfortunately I only have the "Balanced" power plan as an option to choose from (probably because it thinks it's in battery mode?) In any case, I created a new power plan with the High Performance preset, and nothing changed :(

I'm at a bit of a loss here. Been doing research for a while now but I just can't seem to find out why my laptop is slow. It's an older one (6 years now), with an i7 4710HQ processor (2.5 GHz, boost to 3.5 GHz) and 16 GB DDR3 RAM. It used to be just fine, but I've found it annoyingly slow...
