Question Computer slow

[Kevin0412]

Hi everyone,

I've noticed just within this past weekend and my computer "speed" as gone to the wasteside.

Youtube is very slow I try hovering over the video to move it a part that I want to watch and it takes forever and not instant
Programs are just slow when opening or doing anything.

Gaming seems to be "okay" I have been playing a lot of PS5 so haven't noticed anything.

I did notice before this that Youtube was constantly buffering when it certains part of WoW and not in the a main city.

I have ran Malwarebytes and AVG. Nothing detected. Adwcleaner find one thing constantly but won't properly quarantine it. I've ran CCleaner, went in a manually deleted temp files and have ran Disk Cleanup thinking that would help. Within the last week I've installed Office due a course I've been taking and had to download a zip file with stuff for the course but again no virus detected as mentioned..

CPU and GPU temp are fine.

Any help to resolve this would be great. I've considered taking my computer to a tech but I can't be without a PC due courses as previously mentioned so that's not exactly my top priority when it has to be something simple or something I could figure out as to why it's doing this.

Look in Task Manager and Resource Monitor to learn more about what your computer is doing or trying to do when performance slows.

Use both tools but only one tool at a time.

You can also use Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to learn more about what may be happening.

Take your take, be methodical and observant. Do not jump to any conclusions,

Ideally you will be able to discover something you can control.

For example: Application "X" running = slow. Application "X" stopped - running = fast.

Just look first. Do not immediately do any stopping, disabling, uninstalling etc. until there is some certainty about the culprit.

Keep notes. Post what you find.

Open the Reliability Monitor by entering the command perfmon /rel in the Run command box. Post a screenshot of that display.
