Can you see why my laptop is acting so horribly?

I already changed the settings to "best performance"
when starting chrome or opera the pages open reaaaaaaalllllll slow.
It takes easily 1 to 2 minutes before it opens.
I use Avast and malwarebyte as protection.


I don't know what else to do.

how about uninstalling the avast? usually antivirus slows down pc, or maybe reinstall fresh copy of windows

So, removeing avast can, but then again, how will my computer be protected?

well i personally dont use any antivirus and only have windows defender protecting my pc, have no problem with viruses all things save, windows defender usually detecting viruses quickly, but thats just my own experience, so i dont know about you. it is up to you to whether removing avast or not, i also dont know the exact problem as the factor that makes your pc slow were not clear, so the problem have to be solved manually
