What should I do if my computer is running slow?

1. Check your computer for viruses and malware. Viruses can slow down your computer. If you find any malicious programs, quarantine or delete them.

2. Restart your computer. Closing all open programs and restarting your machine can help give it a new start and improve performance.

3. Update your software. Make sure all your software is up-to-date. Outdated software can cause slowdowns.

4. Uninstall unused programs. Unused software can take up precious storage space and slow down your system.

5. Check for overheating. Too much dust or heat can cause the machine to slow down. Clean out the interior of your computer with compressed air, and check if the fans are working correctly.

6. Run a disk cleanup. Over time, temporary files and other data can pile up and slow down your system. Running a disk cleanup can help free up space and speed up your computer.
