Why is my HP Laptop showing running slow

Common culprits include background apps, driver issues, and heat. The free scan ranks the likely causes on your device.

Is the scan safe for my files

Yes. It reads performance signals only and does not access or delete personal files.

Disable heavy startup apps, update GPU and chipset drivers, and clean temp files. Then run the scan to validate improvements.

Usually no. If temperatures or memory use stay high at idle, consider re paste or adding RAM.

Most steps take 5 to 10 minutes. The scan usually completes within a few minutes.

Keep drivers updated, limit startup items, clean dust, and schedule periodic scans.

Start with easy steps, then use the scan for deeper checks like drivers, startup load, temperature, and disk health.

Programs open slowly, Explorer freezes, Task Manager shows background processes consuming CPU or disk

trim startup; uninstall bloatware; update drivers; clean temp files; check for malware

Disable startup items, remove unused vendor utilities, refresh GPU and chipset drivers, run Disk Cleanup, perform malware scan

Install only needed utilities, schedule weekly cleanup, keep OS and drivers current
