What are the specs?
have you ran disk clean up and a defrag?
I've heard the word "defragment" used. Don't know what it means but yeah, that's about as helpful as I am technology speaking.:redface:

Moved your thread into the Technology and computers forum anyhow.:biggrin:

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
What’s the ram? SSD or HDD? How full is the SSD/HDD
Reset the PC. If that doesn't work then replace the HDD, maybe get an SSD.

If it's still slow after that then you probably need a new computer.
Open taskmgr
Give me the RAM, CPU, and Disk usage.

Oh fair enough haha, I’m guessing your laptop came prebuilt and isn’t custom made? If you search on the internet for the laptop you have and its specs, they should come up
Is it MATLAB slowing it down?
If it is old then update it or buy a new one.
