Hi all,

 

I have a couple of computers that work ok but aren't as fast as they used to be. One of them, the laptop, had Windows re-installed a while ago which livened things up but it didn't take long for it to slow down again (basically once I put all of the software back on).

 

I have a suspicion that the anti-virus software I use (Bullguard) consumes a lot of resources and therefore is the primary cause of the problem but I can't prove it.

 

Is there an easy way that I can identify what's slowing them down?

 

TIA

My 1st thought is to disconnect from the internet and then disable your anti-virus temporarily to see if it improves.

I'm not qualified to offer any advice but Google and Chrome,especially, slow my system significantly.

Did you tried using the system in safe mode and safemode with networking that usually disables the Anti-virus and other heavy software. Lets us know, how it goes.

What's the Windows version and did you install updates recently?

 

P.S it runs on hdd or ssd?
