Quick Fix Guide 08
Slow computer
Start here
The computer is suddenly slow.
A slow computer is not always a dying computer. First we check whether something is stuck, updating, or quietly asking for attention.
Likely cause
Too many apps are open, the computer needs a restart, storage is nearly full, or an update is waiting.
First things to try.
-
01
Save your work, then restart the computer.
-
02
Close apps you are not using, especially ones that open at the top of the screen or near the clock.
