How full are the drives? Another thought is a dying drive. If it hasn’t been done in a long time then a fresh install of Windows is a good place to start.

I agree with the above.

First I would make sure your drives arent full. A full drive can make windows slow or even unusable.

Second, i would make aure idle resource usage is normal. Less than 40% cpu, less than 4gb ram used, and make sure disk isnt at 100%.

Third, i would download and run hdd sentinel. This free program will run a S.M.A.R.T scan and alert you if there are any issues with any of your hard drives.

@sizzling
100 gb space is left thats fine i think but i cleared alll the unkown apps and hardisk can realy slow down performance i didnt knew about that

@remixislandmusic
cpu usage is always fine and ram usage is also fine but i dont know where to test the disk usage ??

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Since you dont have malware and cpu and ram usage are normal:
Task manager can tell you disk usage, i would check this.
No matter what idle disk usage is, I would run HDD sentinal to check both of your hard drives health.

Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring

Monitoring hard disk health and temperature. Test and repair HDD problems, predict disk failure.

My advice: Get a decent SSD ( a cheap one would also do)
Thank me later

EDIT:
120 GB for 20$ would be good for your OS
Or splash out 60$ and get 500GB

i ran the reults both the hardisks have 100%health and same performance but dont know what when i go to disk performace it shows all the hardisk speed and read and write speed but when i click to second hardisk 160 gb one it shows everything zero WTfrick is that

 

[Guillotine651]

and my hardisk (320 gb) have a disk usage 100 % always

I would suggest picking up a 240gb ssd for about $29 and cloning your hdd to the ssd.
