Hello all,

My Lenovo ThinkPad e520 laptop gets really slow if it suddenly changes from mains to battery when using teams. If there's a power surge or if the power cable gets pulled out accidently for example. The laptop gets so slow that it is unusable until I reset it and once it has rebooted it is back to normal.

I'm running Windows 10 pro and I keep it updated.

Is this a known issue? Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

You're working with a decade old and/or more older laptop with Windows 10, that I'm assuming was upgraded to 8GB of ram, this is what's the issue. In 2023, that laptop is meant to be retired.
