My computer is frustratingly slow, even after I reset it - I have tried various optimisers to no avail!  .... If anyone can investigate and solve this I would be grateful! Thank you

I would be looking at malware unless by reset you mean formatted hdd and reinstalled windows.

Can you Download and run and then post. https://www.ccleaner...speccy/download

A thorough full scan was done with McAfee - nothing found on reset everything was removed and windows reinstalled and updated!

The first thing I would try is to uninstall Mcafee ( can be reinstalled later if wanted) and turn on Windows defender. test

You have updates turned off. Next is to update Windows to the latest. Test.

have you overclocked your ram in the BIOS ? If yes return to defaults. Test

Something is eating up your ram. When you ran Speccy something was taking up 64% of ram.

Start task manager. Right click on the taskbar and left click on task manager if nothing shows click on More details then click on the Processor tab

Click on the memory column to put the highest using item at the top.

Your computer only has 4gb of memory which is not a lot of memory for today's computer.

If this is your computer https://h10057.www1..../05/EM741AV.htm. It can only take 4GB of ram.

These are the worst thing you can run on a computer.

You have updates turned off. Next is to update Windows to the latest. Test. - Updated manually every day because of defender virus updates 

have you overclocked your ram in the BIOS ? If yes return to defaults. Test - Sorry, I don't know this (I am 85yrs and only use mainly for social, youtube, solitaire and facebook) I know nothing at all technical!

Click on the memory column to put the highest using item at the top. - Google Chrome (12) 240mb - Antimalware service 101mb - service host (sys main) 51mb - desktop windows manager 60mb - (thats the top 4)

Your computer only has 4gb of memory which is not a lot of memory for today's computer. (sadly I can't afford to upgrade my computer   )

another option to think about is to run a Linux distro. 

You can run what is called a Live Linux. This means that you download a linux distro and it runs from a usb.

No need to install anything it will run just from the usb. You can try it and if you like it you can install it instead of windows or just run it from the usb.

Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think. - I will firstly research this on the web and try to understand what it is and does    

So as my system stands now, PeterM, there is nothing to be done to stop the sluggish response in page loading etc:?  and/or finding what is actually the cause of the sluggishness?

From this link here https://winaero.com/...for-windows-10/

So, the optimal hardware configuration for Windows 10 looks at least as follows:

• Processor: Intel 8th generation processors (Intel i3/i5/i7/i9-7x), Core M3-7xxx , Xeon E3-xxxx, and Xeon E5-xxxx processors, AMD 8th generation processors (A Series Ax-9xxx, E-Series Ex-9xxx, FX-9xxx) or ARM64 processors (Snapdragon SDM850 or later)
• RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 16 GB for 64-bit
• SSD/NVMe: at least 128 GB for both 64-bit and 32-bit OS
• Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later
• Display resolution: 800 x 600, a minimum diagonal display size for the primary display of 7-inches or larger.

I want to thank you very much PeterM for your time and patience - I thought the problem would have been some settings were incorrect, or unneccesssary programs running in the background. If your 12 gb of memory HP is also very slow, an expensive upgrade is unthinkable! Let's call this resolved, I have already intruded on your time too much - thank you so much
